KRSTIĆ: DAS ANATOMISCHE THEATER

DISCUSSION with Milorad Krstić on Friday, November
10th at 6 pm at Škuc Gallery.
The
simultaneist poem teaches a sense of the merry-go-round of
all things; while Herr Schulze reads his paper, the Balkan
Express crosses the bridge at Nish; a pig squeals in Butcher
Nuttke's cellar.
Richard Huelsenbeck
“First German Dada Manifesto”, Berlin 1918
The Theater is anatomical in nature because
within it the 20th century is placed on a
dissection table; the people, the events and the phenomena
therefore do not wear costumes or masks; on the contrary,
even the skin is torn off, tissue is cut, bone and muscle
are revealed, and the nervous, blood and lymph systems are
observed. The walls of the Theater remind us of the walls of
a biological lab surrounded by glass showcases filled with
neatly arranged bottles in which, floating in a 40%
formaldehyde solution, the body parts of world’s history
await their curious observer.
Eroticism, which often appears in the
scenes of Das Anatomische Theater many times bordering on
obscenity, and which is deeply rooted in the depths of the
age-old traditions of Eros and Thanatos, is evoked to
counterbalance the tragic events and the totalitarian
systems that brought doom to the 20th century.
The civilized nations have long forgotten that, in more
primitive stages of their existence, they too used erotic
art to expel the evil spirits. With the help of its irony
and eroticism, Das Anatomische Theater banishes the evil
powers of the 20th century.
