Forma Viva Symposium of Sculptors 2019 in Kostanjevica na Krki - Slovenija
The three participants of the Forma Viva Symposium of Sculptors 2019 in Kostanjevica na Krki are:
Bojan Mavsar, Slovenia
Robert Canev, Bolgaria
Aldo Shiroma Uza, Peru
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM:
The International Symposium of Sculptors Forma Viva is considered to be the oldest still ongoing sculpture symposium in the world. Two Slovenian sculptors Janez Lenassi and Jakob Savinšek established the first sites of the symposium in Kostanjevica na Krki and in Seča near Portorož in 1961, following an example of open-air sculptors symposium in St Margharethen (Austria, 1959). The two original sites were soon augmented with another pair in Ravne na Koroškem (1964) and Maribor (1967). For each of the sites, a defining material was selected with regards to the local context; oak wood in Kostanjevica na Krki, stone in Seča near Portorož, steel in Ravne na Koroškem and concrete in Maribor. The symposium in Kostanjevica na Krki, which since 1998 takes place biennially and lasts one month, hosts chosen artists from around the world. In the Sculpture Park Forma Viva, which stretches around the Božidar Jakac Art Museum and the town Kostanjevica na Krki, more than 100 sculptures, which were created in the symposia, are on display.

Zarathustra's path based on Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical novel of the same name

No longer will my spirit walk on worn-out soles. Friedrich Nietzsche
The philosophical novel Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which is considered a seminal philosophical work, written by the controversial German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, one of the most praised, yet also one of the most suppressed and scorned philosophers, has gone through numerous musical (Richard Strauss) and literary adaptations ever since its creation (1883–1885). Nietzsche's Zarathustra, which was written over a period of two years at different locations between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, reflects the philosopher's spasmodic and sharp style of writing, which may at times come out in short bursts or it may be spread out in prolonged flourishes and digressions whereby it might be possible to throw the interpretative matrix over the entire horizon of his thought. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the director Matjaž Berger and the co-creators have elected to walk the line of Niezsche's bridge between animal, man and overman. In doing so, they have affirmatively mapped out the intimate path of the performance in the direction of man's inner transformation. Zarathustra, who rechristens the Christian commandment of loving one's neighbour into love of the furthest, is, according to Nietzsche, someone who teaches people and encourages them to constantly surpass (overcome) themselves, recognizing and pursuing volition itself whereby strength must be found and recognized. According to Nietzsche, the human being is always an over-going: a bridge and not a goal, a rope over an abyss seeking companions – fellow creators to share and create with – along its path. Willing emancipates: for willing is creating.
This is now my path, where is yours? Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

In this production based on Thus Spoke Zarathustra by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, director Matjaž Berger and his co-creators have chosen to walk the line of Nietzsche’s bridge between animal, man and superman. In doing so they have affirmatively mapped out the intimate path of man’s inner transformation. According to Nietzsche, Zarathustra, who “rechristens” the Christian commandment “love thy neighbour” as “love for the furthest”, is someone who teaches people and constantly encourages them to transcend their own selves, which, in identifying and pursuing the will itself, is the power they need to seek and recognise. Man is always an “over-going” for Nietzsche: a bridge not a goal, a rope over an abyss. On his way he seeks fellow travellers, fellow creators with whom to share and create. Willing emancipates: for willing is creating.
“This then is my path, where is yours?” Thus spoke Zarathustra.

V predstavi Tako je govoril Zaratustra nemškega filozofa Friedricha Nietzscheja so si režiser Matjaž Berger in soustvarjalci izbrali hojo po liniji Nietzschejevega zasledovanja mostu med živaljo, človekom in čezčlovekom. Pri tem gre za afirmativno zastavitev intimne linije dela k notranji preobrazbi človeka. Zaratustra, ki krščansko zapoved po ljubezni do bližnjega »prekrsti« v »ljubezen do nadaljnjega«, je po Nietzscheju nekdo, ki ljudi uči in jih spodbuja k nenehnemu preseganju lastnega sebstva, ki je v razpoznavanju in zasledovanju volje same, moč, v kateri je treba najti in prepoznati. Človek je za Nietzscheja vselej prehod: most, in ne cilj, vrv nad prepadom, ki na svoji poti išče sopotnike, soustvarjalce, s katerimi bi delil in ustvarjal. Hoteti osvobaja: hoteti je ustvarjati.
»To je torej moja pot, kje je vaša?« Tako je govoril Zaratustra.
