Rootless

Directing Creative Laboratory

The theme of the creative laboratory is to explore the path of uprooting a person. His transformation into a free atom, seeking his new place in the world. We live in a time of total rearrangement of human layers. Wars, poverty, diseases, the collapse of humanity in individual human communities force Man to tear out his own roots and take to the unknown. I am talking about the problem of the refugee waves flooding Europe. About the emigration of a huge part of the population, in search of personal self-realization. I am talking about the compulsion or our own choice to cut off our roots. How is such a decision made? What are the consequences of this decision? What does a person without roots mean?
