NENAD JELESIJEVIĆ:
PATHOS SPECTACULUS: Prayer
oh mercy mother and gods of corruption
all apologies
all in all is all i am
i let go compulsion i take on freedom
the force is within me
i’ve got the power
i’m free

Moulting of performance into a ritual.
Voice. Drums. Torches. Many.
Prayer demands its space. Prayer exceeds the body which voices it. Prayer goes further.
A certain force. Not any force, a crucial force.
Nenad Jelesijevič will pass from bare performativity to transcendence which alludes its return to him in a form of freedom – a freedom sensitive to repression, but also an entirely forgiving freedom.
We should enter.
