“There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn."
“The Myth of Sisyphus”, Albert Camus
In the performance “I, Sisyphus” we explore the road of man’s eternal return to himself. Ever since Antiquity, philosophers have discovered the absurdity of human behavior. Whichever road one may take, whoever else one tries to become, whatever escape-routes one might venture, he always keeps returning to himself. Human life is a repetition of one and the same action: spiraling, same, predictable. And this constant action makes us meditate not on the meaning, but on the meaninglessness of human life.
