Ivana Sajko: SCENES WITH AN APPLE

cenes with an apple" is inspired by the biblical motive of expulsion from Paradise, the story which from the contemporary perspective opens the question of a possibility of constructing a garden of Eden within a catastrophic society. Would it be human to even want to create such a society, and would such a wish disclose the deepest social ignorance? Wouldn't its inhabitants constitute privileged elite and wouldn't they live in a state of constant paranoia faced with the fact that the gates of Eden might one day collapse and that they would find themselves face to face with a world they missed to save? Ivana Sajko's drama is a history of such decay.

Maybe the best text by Ivana Sajko: its biblical frame gives her usual painful and committed topics very concrete geopolitical anchor and not just a mere allusion to domestic circumstances.
