“The essential theme of this play can be called a ‘meeting’, the meeting of two worlds, the world of the Deaf and the world of the hearing. Oscar Wilde and his works, ‘Socialism and the Human Soul’ and ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’, have become extraordinary narratives that have given that meeting a third dimension, the dimension of community. The artistic aspect of that togetherness has enabled the result that we have been seeking. And that result is an environment of equality, which in our opinion should be the goal of every inclusive project.”
Nenad Čolić, PLAVO Theatre
A map of the world that does not include Utopia, is not worth event glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which the Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and seeing a better country, sets sail! Progress is the realization of Utopias!
