When society is burdened with a lot of
restlessness and complicated rules, when we have strayed or are looking for the
right path, inequalities, divisions and abuses of power are the worst enemy of
justice. The law of the strongest prevails, the weakest are the cannon fodder
to achieve the goals of the elites.
To establish order, reduce conflicts, enable
the collaboration of a herd, dogs form their own social structure. The
relations between them are regulated by a hierarchy. Who is the alpha, who is
the beta, who is the gamma, and who is the delta under equal circumstances on
the theater stage? Freedom, equality, brotherhood or death! What will we
witness?
SHIFT
2021 – JUSTICE
In
2021 the Shift will focus on systemic gaps in the field of human rights and
freedoms written in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia: “In Slovenia
everyone shall be guaranteed equal human rights and fundamental freedoms
irrespective of national origin, race, sex, language, religion, political, or
other conviction, material standing, birth, education, social status,
disability, or any other personal circumstance. All are equal before the law.”
(Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia, Article 14).
Shift
is a performative format that detects systemic gaps in the field of health,
knowledge, work and law in the period 2018-2021. Shift does not invent. Shift
is evidence of evident. Shift performs with those for whom it performs. Shift
is interested in the potential of everyday life.
