We
all impatiently waited for he prečiere of the David Harrower’s text
Knives In Hens. How wouldn’t we when the director is well known
fighter for homosexual rights, what is still a very unusual for
Sarajevo. Unusual are also the means that he uses in his
performance. There most certainly are people who will be shocked by
this show (as a lady was when she saw the actress Mirjana Karanovic
half naked) but in it “everything is known” and has its artistic
justification. This text was created as a consequence of writer’s
exploration of life in middle age Scotland. Its basis is formed by
relationships between The Woman (Mirjana Karanovic), The
Agriculturist (Edhem Husic) and The Millman (Ermin Bravo). The woman
sent her housband to The Millman, who is hatted by the entire
village. His guilt is only the fact that he knows the nature of the
natives, their balck spots, he watches over their miserable faiths,
reads from their soles. Mirjana Karanovic plays safely (physical
expression has always been her stronger side), that is the character
that we can envy her on. Without mistakes in accent and any
overplaying, this female role is undoubtedly going to be remembered.
Strong women passes trough husband’s kinky games, leaves him, and
after (physically very exciting) slaughter of The Agriculturist and
sex with The Millman takes “her own path”.

From elementary animal
sex as physiological need, up to creative erotica that slowly shapes
the erotic being of the show. In other words her true and creative
life.
In these lonely spaces filled with soil, air, water and fire
in shape of Woman we recognise basic elements that are in deeply
functional for the show. We recognise empedoclic forces of the
universe, Love and Hate. Life – Death – Life in eternal cycles and
cycling.
Isn’t the unreachable goal of Art to form new worlds from
it’s own material and not to refabulate the already existing ones?
It seams that we can find direction poetic of Damir Zlatar Frey
somewhere near by the answer to that question. Is he always reaching
his aim? The facts remains that mortal creatures can rarely or never
touch the stars. What seams important is his awareness and desire in
which he knows how to add fantastic and fanatic
energy.
