The performance is something between a creative performance and a theatre confession. The authors seek to express themselves on certain topics which surround us today. The focus lies on a man who is under pressure from the media every day. The information, however, is not presented as objective news to help us to form our own views, but as notions which already present someone else’s view. This ever-present pressure, after some time, makes us want to express ourselves on everything, and that we feel the need to categorise the information we have gathered at all costs.The Sifon performance is a moment when all such information and perceptions gathered up take over and it is needed to get rid of them - in a similar way like a rubbish in a blocked drain.

The performance was supported by - City of Prague, Motus o.s.

The performance is a part of the New Web project (2010).
