JOZEF EDUARD MASARIK
In the course of his formation, Jozef has discovered his interest in research and writing, around which he has shaped his practice.
His projects put a specific excerpt of reality under scrutiny. A fragment of reality with a special social importance is isolated and then used as base to construct an autonomous world which may not seem plausible but surely is possible in its complexity.
Convinced that the common origin of the words theory and theatre in the Greek word for sight or vision is justified, Jozef makes his theories visible through various theatrical formats. He believes that performance, has the potential to shake the border between what is considered real and fictional. To stage his visions Jozef is bulding on the experience he gained working as a set designer.
