The video installation is situated in the space of the Supreme Court in Prague, which becomes an imaginary stage for examining the symptoms of contemporary cultural unrest. The courtroom itself symbolizes dynamic spaces that involve strong interpersonal and social dynamics and are characterized by a clear hierarchy of power. The space is occupied by four performers who perform gestures such as whispering, preparing to speak, swearing, or unsuccessfully trying to move the rigid architecture. The protagonists seem to be actors and observers at the same time, imaginary NPCs stuck in the courtroom, constantly preparing for a speech and narration that never happens. Trapped in a place with such a strong sense of narrative, unable to say anything, becomes a parallel for being trapped in a canceled future after the wave of neoliberalism and the erosion of historical consciousness.
