Beyond the historical reality and trauma, the performance evokes a much deeper truth: hiding and at the same time protecting one’s own ethnic and religious values in harsh conditions, assuming and sharing these values at any risk. Each of us carries a treasure inside and this immaterial treasure has to be shared. And each of us carries an inner „ark”, just like Noah’s. Beyond any religion and ethnic origin, there is an impulse toward solidarity especially in hard times, there is a sense of responsibility towards our fellow beings that we have to take upon ourselves every moment of our lives.
