HERO 3.0 – more than words

Moment (Maribor)
HERO 3.0 – more than words
Authors and performers: Uroš Kaurin, Vito Weis

Who and what become the Heroes, when they drive themselves beyond words?

We know that they are white, hetero-sexual, cis-gender, middle-class, family men. One is married and the other one has a real-estate.

The audience is absolutely convinced that they are best friends also privately, not only on stage, but Vito and Uroš don’t grill together, they don’t go on holidays with their families together, they don’t share a boat, they don’t play basketball together, they don’t listen to the same music, O.K., once a year a family picnic or lunch… and that’s it.
And still there’s something dangling between them, they don’t dare to acknowledge. At least not aloud. That’s why they decided to end the dictate of words. They simply can’t have it anymore. Words became unnecessary and intrusive.
Only on stage and in front of witnesses are they willing to cut into the unspeakable. With the excuse that the stage can bare anything, because nothing is true and all is fake.

Though the question remains, how much of this can the audience still swallow and not lose fantasies of an ideal partnership, because if the audience knew how much Vito and Uroš love each other they would never watch any other show with the same eyes.
