   Nowadays unexpectedness is very common in every man’s life, says sociologist Zygmunt Bauman (1925 - 2017). He compares history and nowadays explaining differences of everyday life. Life was calm, predictable, slow, there were not much of surprises. Every day people had more or less the same routine, However today our plan of the day might change completely in a half of a second. We all live in an intense world, full of unexpectedness. J. W. von Goethe's Main character Faust shown as an individual, completely different form all others, from the mass of people, living intense life. But today Faust  represents a casual man’s portrait.

   Faust releases tiny creature from mythological parallel into our reality. These little creatures are transforming, shaping, coloring or even exploding  our reality.

 'DIALOGUE BETWEEN ARTIST AND ART CRITIQUE' 2015

 

   I got curious by Spanish thinker Ortega y Gasset’s (1883 – 1955) dehumanisation of art esthetics idea where he explains ireality concept as art retreating from reflecting reality and that art should be independent and extent our reality with something what was hidden, invisible and as far as possible out of existence before.
   Following this concept I found an interesting field of actor phenomenological body and character itself. J.Ortega y Gasset shares a thought, that actor’s and character’s connection makes 'magic', which keeps REAL and lively connection between the audience and so called ireality. In another words: character represent ireality., but with an actors body he gets into our reality. I find it fascinating that in a present moment actor together with the character is keeping sort of channel with another 'dimension' were lies 'something'.
   Because, Faust is a character whom is very relevant in nowadays human, we can easily interpret that Faust is a daily performative character which keeps a mysterious Bacchus portal literally fully active.
