The thoughts of a maniac of protagonism move according to an illogical logic, flaunting authoritarian postures even when the body seems to reveal something else. With this solo, a fanatical orator compares himself to the character of the witch in the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, embodying, however, an even more contemporary concept of wickedness, namely the dominant single-mindedness. His magic is to deviously mould the ideas of all men without receiving opposition strong enough to break its spell. The sorcerer's hands and gestures seek to fascinate and enchant observers in an attempt to gain approval, sometimes interfering with his own desire to dominate, emphasising the self-destructive aspect of his behaviour.
