About the performance

"When a man is dying slowly and has been ill for a long time, the most horrible thing is that it gets worse just a little bit every day … so little that you don’t even notice. Perhaps you even think that it’s getting better. Then you remember: a week ago he could get out of bed by himself, now he can only turn. Then you forget about it and in a while you notice, horrified, that he can’t even turn anymore, that he lifts his head with difficulty. Then for the first time you realise that it’s inevitable. With the end of the world it’s the same." (Jakov Druskin)

The Man Who Watched the World is an original project rooted in the feeling that the end of the world is not merely an apocalypse waiting somewhere out there to happen, but an omnipresence in the microcosms of people, families, individuals without a voice and a place in this world which is moving so fast that it’s actually standing still. The feeling that you’re driving along a long long road in a car which is running out of petrol, the car is driving, there is no fuel, there is no end, there is nowhere to stop. And the car keeps going. Let’s endure a little longer and it will get better. A little longer, just a little longer and it’ll be better. Is the apocalypse truly a thing of the future?

Première: 22 January 2017
