The project “Three Oranges” is an interpretation of the commedia dell’arte “Love for Three Oranges” by eccentric Сarlo Gozzi (1761) based on an italian fairy-tale.
This book performs a conceptual sketch for the space of the scene. It gives another parallel story, that accompanies the onstage performance. This is a story of human inner world.
This is a new “character” of the play. Three oranges are performing three conditions of a human inner world. This is a portrait of a human being, depicting aspirations, obsessions and anxieties. Something that constantly exists “behind-the-scenes”.
“Occasionally, a joke contains more emotions than a seriocomic drama.” (Useless memoirs, Carlo Gozzi)
There are the answers within the questions. The truth is inconceivable.
Earth is a huge magnet. We are spinning around trying to get off the ground. This is like a dance. If you stop for a moment familiar world disappears.
We can fly. We can’t remember how to fly. We are learning to live in this world, trying to escape from it every single day. We are infected with the stardust. We are attracted by the outer space...
Everyone is lonely. We are hiding our souls so careful in order to break it into hundred pieces getting something essential.
What is the real world? May be it is just a beautiful illusion, that we are escaping while we are dreaming.
We are like children. We break new ground over and over. We are unsane in moments of happiness or sorrow. We are afraid of unknown, but it tempts us. Everyone has his own three oranges.
We create our world and afterwards we live in it. It is like being at a black-and-white carnival, trying to escape into the colorful world of illusion. Sometimes it is hard to understand which world is more real, the one you can see with the eyes, or the one that appears when our eyes are closed.
One glance into the mirror-world makes you obsessed. The inconceivability of the world and the dream of the harmony give an impulse to the wild dance of life.
Freedom of a harlequin! He has something what a lord could never have: the freedom to laugh, freedom to doubt, freedom to make mistakes.
