In his solo performance Sad Sam Almost 6 Matija Ferlin wants to investigate a mind of a child that is not conditioned by anything, not even by his own existence. While growing up, the conscience of the existence creates numerous “terrorizing” facts that are results of social conditions and constraints.

The starting points of the performance are expressionist piano compositions, full of fragments and complex dynamics, entitled Bagatelles, by Slovene composer Marij Kogoj. Besides Kogoj, the performance is informed by another avantgarde creator, the theatre director Ferdo Delak and his project Serata artistica giovanile, which he understood as »the chorographical sketch of a life on stage«.
