The frame of a show was based on tradition of carnival and position of the fool in its history.

   Carnival : time where the world becomes mad, where all the social relations are twisted and all is possible.

   The fool : main figure in carnival balances in-between oppositions: good and evil...

Therefore there was 3 screens ( black / all colours / white ) Fool brings the oppositions, plased on left and right screen in one.

  Invited artist were all symbolizing themes from history of the carnival (coronation of the donkey as beginning of the carnival, twisted relations, jurodiwy – holly fool, kings fool … )

  Video projections placed on different screens were introducing the theme and numbers.
