Lord, consummate this world by devouring it.
„Day of Wrath“ consists of three parts created and performed by Vojta Švejda, playing the electric guitar, Pierr Nadaud in motion and Frédérique Griot, who writes and declaims texts. The origin of this project was inspired by the biblical Book of Job.
“The Biblical text, the meaning of Job’s story is for me, as in the Moslem interpretation, a story of disengagement. Property, body, identity, Job’s living being belongs to Job as his belongings, as a thing, as a creature with which he is bound up and from which he unchains himself, or at least is forced to step aside. Job stripped to the bone. The day of anger is actually the way through this relationship to the body, to the self, to one’s own identity. The electric guitar expresses the brutality of the events that lead to the separation or assist it. It is a stream of energy which can turn the body inside out, just as we might turn a glove inside out. The voice which accompanies this adventure is a manifestation of the core which undoubtedly connects the body (voice), identity, the spirit and meaning.”
