No one cares what you feel. No one cares what you want. No one cares what’s eating you up.
Inside, a scream begins to grow. I have the right to feel anger! To destroy. To crush. To tear apart. To kill. To kill the feeling? To hate? Others? Myself? Why? Somewhere in the labyrinth, a raging bull awaits. Come and look it in the eyes.
An original stage statement by Petr Šmíd, the first part of a cycle inspired by the Baroque sculptures of Virtues and Vices by Matyáš Bernard Braun in Kuks.
The production explores anger primarily through personal experience. An emotion traditionally rejected and condemned by society is presented here as an inseparable part of each of us. Anger is more than a negative emotion; it is a tool that must be understood and learned, so that it can cease to harm and begin to help.
The creators draw on a range of expert sources on emotions and anger, including the work of psychologists such as Robert Bly, Jaak Panksepp, Joseph LeDoux, Antonio Damasio, Lisa Feldman Barrett, and Gabor Maté. The ambition of the piece is to open up a space in which young people can approach anger not as a forbidden or dangerous emotion, but as a vital source of self-knowledge and constructive energy, through personal experience, theatrical imagery, and shared reflection.
