"This is the sadness which adheres to all mortal life,

a sadness, however, which never attains reality, but only serves the everlasting joy of overcoming. Whence, the veil of depression, of heavy-heartedness which is spread out across the whole of the nature, hence the profound, indestructible melancholy of all life." Schelling, Treatise on the essence of human freedom (1809)


Few words for the piece

George Steiner, in his essay ‘Ten (possible) reasons for the sadness of thought’, takes as a principle that thinking is feeling sad and proves it by mentioning ten paradoxes of human thought that lead to melancholy. So, based on this essay, the group focuses on researching kinetically the operation of thought and presenting the tragicomic of the human mind. It is about a duet that forms a system, which operates as whole; it is never apart and has a continual, circular and spiral movement, always in the same direction.Τhis trajectory that a body lines out in space and time, which is definitely related to the laws of centripetal and centrifugal, forms the kinetic base of the piece. We perceive our mind as a microcosm, where if we zoom in, we see two little humans in the hour of duty. Suddenly the landscape changes and the system of thought transforms to a system of two humans, who lie in a situation of agony and enthusiasm. And like this, the intellectual becomes sentimental and human, reminding that whatever spins around our head are us. In an era of sweeping sadness the Trajectory: Α tragedy of a victory researches the operation of thought in general and specifically our beliefs, the compulsion of thought, interjections, the thinking clichés, connotations and after all it wonders itself if thinking is feeling sad indeed. If thinking imprisons or sets free.

“Motivada por el ensayo ‘Diez (posibles) razones para la tristeza del pensamiento’ y po-niendo en práctica la técnica del hilado, esta pieza intenta investigar la adaptación física del pensamiento y presentar lo tragicómica que es la mente humana. En una era de arrolladora tristeza, esta pieza abarca la operación del pensamiento en general e investiga específica-mente nuestras creencias, la compulsión al pensamiento, los clichés en el pensamiento, las connotaciones, etc. Algo tan extraordinario y al mismo tiempo tan débil, la mente final-mente se pregunta si el pensamiento aprisiona o libera”.

“Motivated by George Steiner’s essay ‘Ten (possible) reasons for the sadness of thinking’ and put into practice the technique of spinning, this piece attempts to investigate the physi-cal adaptation of thinking and present the tragicomic of human mind. In an Era of sweep-ing sadness, this piece embodies the operation of thought in general and researches specifi-cally our beliefs, the compulsion of thought, interjections, the thinking clichés, connota-tions, etc. Something so extraordinary and yet so weak at the same time, the mind finally asks in return if the thought imprisons or frees”.

Με αφορμή το δοκίμιο του George Steiner «Δέκα (πιθανοί) λόγοι για τη μελαγχολία της σκέψης» το TRAJECTORY: A TRAJEDY OF A VICTORY επιχειρεί να ερευνήσει κινητικά τη λειτουργία της σκέψης και να παρουσιάσει το κωμικοτραγικό του ανθρώπινου νου. Κάτι τόσο εξαιρετικό αλλά και τόσο αδύναμο ταυτόχρονα. Κι...
