Fragments from the IDIOTHELLO lecture:
"Highly respected spectators. Right now is the moment to start our shocking and surprising mixture of the two world-famous tragedies, Idiot by Fyodor Dostojevski and...
Othello by William Shakespeare. Have you prepared yourselves for this challenging and breathtaking journey? Well, if you haven't, we don't care, but we hereby announce that we...
will not take any responsibility for any loss or damage of your psycho- identity. Davai. Pojehali.
Having been moved by both books and in order to crystallize the essence of the two masterpieces, we decided to simply mix and shake them into one. The result is Idiothello.
One might probably wonder what mazafuckers they are, mixing these two books, which are so far from each other. Well, we have a few answers to this idiotic question. First of all both authors had beards...
beers...birds...bears.
If we carefully observe both books, we can find some extraordinary geometrical coincidences in them. Neither has circles or squares, but what we find in both are triangles. If you look at a triangle from one side it looks and is the most stable structure...
on the planet, imagine the sky-high pyramids in Egypt in front of you. Oh so stable! But try to imagine a triangle upside down, aha, very unstable and it will crash.
In both books one point of the triangle is killed by another point of the triangle. This fatal and passionately dangerous pattern is also known as "triangle d'amour". Davai!
As you probably remember, our lecture earlier ended with the analysis of triangles. Now, imagine you are lost on the open sea. You are scared and nearly collapsing but all you need to do, in order... to navigate your position, is to find two solid points, like stars or some other things, and through simple mathematical calculations you will find your coordinates, and be safe. So don't be afraid. Just open your eyes and let your selves slip into the awareness of the solid points, and remember, to build your self towards being a located and happy person, you should create triangles in your surroundings!"
Davai!
