| Program Notes: |
| The Mocking Maze is about solving mysterious and fantastic puzzles. All senses, emotions, reasons, and matters are somewhat twisted into a cyclical labyrinth where all sorts of memories keep coming back. The disturbing fact is that someone has been cutting the red threads of these memories and pasted them in illogical orders; obviously mocking and enjoying. The maze paints the biggest ’’Yes’’ … at least we thought it was a ’’Yes’’… and everything changed from the moment; at the same time nothing has changed. Only the scent of light-blue crystal remains deeply in the distance. |
