How We Tricked Mephisto
​
Author: Nela Antonovic
The concept emerged as a challenge to explore three authors (three works of fiction): Orwell "1984", Zamyatin "WE" and Goethe "Faust". The artists, audience and both their personal views at the global conflict between East and West, are supposed to create a synthesis of dreams and hopes for a better tomorrow. The project addresses current topics of questioning the concept of freedom in the future. The layout of scenarios and the dynamics of implementation depend on the audience and their interaction with artists by asking questions. On the other hand, artists open themselves by answering these questions. In that way, artists’ performing skills can be tested and audience activated because democracy means breaking of common thinking and atomizing it into beneficial ideas, which are publicly elected, and are a reflection of society.​
