Executioner No. 14 is a site-specific project created for the garret of Cross Club, a centre of alternative culture in Prague, Czech Republic. The performance is based upon a monodrama by a franco-egyptian playwright Adel Hakim. The main and only character is a man who survived civil war - and recounts his memories from before and during it. He does so in order to survive, not to forget, not to go mad. In a 70 minutes long stream of suggestive images of love and hatred, hope and despair, fear of a victim and ecstasy of a warrior, we follow up a harrowing metamorphosis of a usual, average man into a fighting machine. And with him, the corrosion and disintegration of the whole society, all moral standards and values, all the known world. What stays is pain, loneliness and vanity.
