Five Instead OFs

• instead of questioning the position of director through the promise of performer’s emancipation, working within rigid and in advance defined concept
• instead of dealing with cultural position of Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice, imposing on it the time-grid of Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas
• instead of finding ways to improve well-controlled performance, splitting it into two separated spaces
• instead of making transparent structural interdependency of two performances for audience, promoting the performer into a space for unification of two different acts of watching
