"I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun was setting. I felt a breath of melancholy - Suddenly the sky turned blood-red. I stopped, and leaned against the railing, deathly tired - looking out across the flaming clouds that hung like blood and a sword over the blue-black fjord and town. My friends walked on - I stood there, trembling with fear. And I sensed a great, infinite scream pass through nature."
Edvard Munch

 

The Scream / Vrisak

The Scream / Vrisak

 

 

Međunarodni teatarski projekt The Scream (Vrisak) nastao je kroz umjetničku suradnju između norveškog redatelja i dramaturga Øystein Ulsberg Bragera, direktora norveško-britanskog teatra Imploding Fictions (Oslo/London) i hrvatskih umjetnika Borisa i Nataše Kadin, članova udruge Mavena-36 njezinih čuda iz Splita.

Namjera je bila napraviti teatarski projekt čija je okosnica i pokretač krađa slavne slike Eduarda Muncha: The Scream 2004. godine u Oslu, koja se kroz projekt tretira na nekoliko dimenzija. Uspostavljena je veza između biografije Eduarda Muncha, priče o tome kako je slika nastala, medijskih napisa o samoj krađi te slike 2004., priče o Zlatanu Jašareviću,  čovjeku koji je ukrao sliku i koji nikad nije otkriven, njegove veze sa ženom koja je radila kao osiguranje u muzeju u vrijeme krađe slike, uzročno-posljedične veze između umjetnika i osobe koja krade njegovo umjetničko djelo više od sto godina kasnije,...

Priča počinje 22. Kolovoza 2004. u Oslu kada su, za vrijeme radnog vremena Munch Muzeja, maskirani i naoružani kradljivci upali i ukrali dvije Munchove slike: Scream i Madonna. No, slučajni prolaznik fotografirao ih je dok su bježali u auto. 8. Travnja 2005. Norveška policija uhitila je sumljivce, ali nisu našli ukradene slike. Policija nikad nije uhitila Zlatana Jašarevića, čak je šestorici ljudi bilo suđeno tijekom 2006. za tu krađu, trojica su osuđena na kaznu zatvorom u trajanju od 4 do 8 godina, a ostali su morali platiti milijunske iznose odštete gradu Oslu.

Projekt Vrisak personalizira samu Munchovu osobu i njegovu slavnu rečenicu o ženama : Žena sa svim svojim licima je misterija za muškarca; istovremeno je sveta i kurva i nesretna i napuštena ("Woman in her many-sidedness is a mystery to man. Woman at one and the same time is a saint, a whore, and an unhappy person abandoned" ). Ovu rečenicu uzimamo da bismo povezali Munchovu viziju žene sa Zlatanovom . Zlatan je mladi umjetnik koji je stigao u Oslo iz Sarajeva za vrijeme rata u Bosni, 1994. Kako je njegova majka umrla dok je on bio malo dijete, stvorio je viziju žene kroz ove riječi Eduarda Muncha, obzirom da je on bio njegov najdraži slikar. Veza je bila toliko velika da je Zlatan posjećivao Munchov Muzej svaki dan bez izuzetka pet godina. Tijekom svojih posjeta došao je u kontakt sa ženom koja je radilu u osiguranju muzeja i započeo čudnu seksualnu vezu sa njom, a za nju se vjeruje da je bila mozak krađe slike.

Projekt Scream/Vrisak se bavi i samim odnosom izmedju teatra i performansa, tj. odnosom između glumca i performera. Koja je granična točka izmedju ta dva načina bivanja na sceni i na koji način se dvije različite izvedbene prakse mogu spojiti unutar projekta koji se koristi biografijom Muncha, medijskim izvještajima o krađi Screama, fikcionalnim odnosima Zlatana i žene, realnim tijelima Nataše Kadin i Borisa Kadina, dijapozitivima, itd.
Tekst za projekt Scream napisali su Øystein Ulsberg Brager i Boris Kadin virtualnom komunikacijom tijekom 2009.g.

Theatrical project  The Scream is a collaboration between Norwegian theater director and writer Øystein Ulsberg Brager and Croatian performers Natasha Kadin and Boris Kadin(members of art collective Mavena, Split). We wish to create a project that deals with famous painting The Scream in a several dimensions. We will establish connection between biography of Eduard Munch, story about the picture, news reports about theft of the picture from 2004, story about man that actually stole the picture, biography of Zlatan Jasharevich that stole the picture and it was never revealed, his relation to a woman who worked as insurance officer in museum, as well as make connection between the artist and person that stole the artist work more than hundred years after. The story begins on  August 22, during daylight hours, when masked gunman entered the Munch Museum  in Oslo and stole two paintings: Scream and Munch's Madonna. Remarkably, a bystander photographed the robbers as they escaped with the artwork to their car. On April 8,2005 Norwegian police arrested a suspect in connection with the theft, but the paintings remained missing and it was rumoured that they had been burned by the thieves to destroy evidence. The police never arrested Zlatan Jasharevic, in fact six men went on trial in early 2006, variously charged with either assisting to plan or execute the robbery. Three of the men were convicted and sentenced to between four and eight years in prison in May 2006, and two of the convicted, were ordered to pay compensation of 750 million kroner (roughly USD 117.6 million or € 86.7 million) to the City of Oslo.

The story in the play Scream than goes to Eduard Munch and one of his picture.  In the middle stands a physical mature woman, naked with her legs spread, who looks directly at the viewer. Her  seductive and provocative gaze is of such irresistible attraction that it guarantees the eternity of the human race. On the right side is a darkly dressed woman, hardly visible, with a pale face that bears witness to death. "Woman in her many-sidedness", Munch wrote, "is a mystery to man. Woman at one and the same time is a saint, a whore, and an unhappy person abandoned" . We combine this analysis to compare Eduard vision of woman with Zlatan vision. Zlatan is a young artist, which came in Oslo from Sarajevo during the war in Yugoslavia, 1994.  As his mother died when he was just a child, he established the vision of women trough words of Eduard Munch, since Munch was his favourite painter. The connection was so big, that he visited the Munch Museum every day for a 5 year. During this visits he made contact with the woman that works in Munch Museum as a insurance officer. After some months they started their weird sexual relation and the result was the stealing of the Scream.
