Betontanc: POETS WITHOUT POCKETS

Never trust a men over thirties

I don`t like similarity. Uniformity does not interest me. I found good – very good – people, with different experience of dance or theatre, I put them together, so that we would play. In a certain way I tried to wrench them from beeing adults. I am not an anti-intelectual, but I am against pseudo-intelectuals who are rolling like dogs in their own verbal shit. That is their aim and identity. Instead of talk-talking we prefer playing games.
