Description of the play
„It is a right to die because of one’s own stupidity.“ Samo Marec
Non-verbal music-physical theatre street show of the incorrigible Savior and the ordinary Garbage man, who decided to save the world. Humorous situations full of situational gags will guide you through a dynamic story starting with being recklessly stunned by a new visionary, through an unexpected threat, all the way to sobering up from a flock attitude thanks to using your wits. Caution, the prevalence of (un)common human stupidity and its irrational symptoms can have tragic consequences! Is there anybody who can save us from the savior?
The production is suitable for all ages, optimally from 8 years old.

The three worst displays of stupidity:
Ignorance and overconfidence
The highest category of stupidity. It includes people who start doing things without having the necessary knowledge or any required experience.*
Lack of self-control
The middle level of stupidity. It is often displayed with people who submit to their impulses easily.
Absent-mindedness
The lightest level of stupidity. People who belong here are those who are simply not paying attention.

*Dunning-Kruger effect
is a type of cognitive error where less qualified people, or people with low skills and/or competence in a given area significantly overstate their abilities and effort compared to others. These people have more trouble identifying their real abilities which is caused especially by a lack of their metacognitive abilities. On the other hand, qualified people tend to undervalue their abilities and overestimate the powers of others. This occurrence was discovered in 1999 by David Dunning and Justin Kruger. For describing this phenomenon, they have been awarded the Ig Nobel prize in 2000.
