On sloth. On the reasons what a artist should do and what for. On whether it is possible to combine opera and performance and on why it is impossible. On the importance of creating that which no one needs. On the unimportance of creating that which is expected. Viva Verdi is a performance about a performance that does not exist.

“Via Negativa managed to connect the incompatible; Verdi and his opera with the proscribed tightness with the physical and ideological unyielding of the performance.” (Večernji list Zagreb, July 06)

“Via Negativa showed exceptional theatrical nerve, energy, invention, imagination, demonstrating without restraints where the European theatre goes.” (Vjesnik Zagreb, 3.7.06)

“Theatre is presented as a “sweat machine.” (Novi list Zagreb, 3.7.06)

“While in the background we watched the opera ensemble singing aria from Nabucco, actors were drowning in the brooks of sweat to demonstrate that art, as every other job, happens between love and extractions.” (Scena Novi Sad, July-Sept. 06)
