Panoptikum

Panoptiky is about fear of foreign and unknown, about what people are able to sell and at what price, about the borders and moral values ​​based on profit and financial profit, about entertainment, loneliness, but also laughter, courage, dreams, human dignity, magician and reflectors. Freak Shows were traveling companies passengers from the city to the city and exhibiting to admire curious objects, skills and, above all, so -called "very special people". At a time when the panoptics experienced its greatest glory, it was the only possible refuge for people who rejected society and refused for fear of the unknown and different. To exhibit those who had nowhere to go was a hearty source of income for the owner - Impresaria. In the society of hungry for human suffering, which the whole family can entertain, a queue of venerable citizens was stretched before the treasury. The women then turned away from human anomalities, and the children covered their eyes in horror, and men looked contemptuously into the eyes "creatures that barely deserve to be called people". Beings humiliated into exhibits without fate, dreams and hope, and at the same time people who dreamed, longed and wanted to live.   What if the famous show ceases to be attractive, wandering in remote places brings smaller profits and indifferent audiences? What if the performers are no longer the subject of a profitable business, it becomes a burden and needs to be rid of it? In what situations does the human soul lose value?
