APPROACH

In 2014, the The­ather Fes­ti­val  Close Strangers had the sub­ti­tle Cain I Abel. On the fes­ti­val poster, we can see the metaphor­i­cal fig­ures of Cain and Abel in the form of a pair of scis­sors that cut them­selves. Cain by cut­ting the head of Abel, cuts off a part of him­self. In the fes­ti­val cat­a­log, we refer to the idea of cut­ting, using per­fo­ra­tions on the upper edge of the pub­li­ca­tion. This idea prompts a read­er to cut or tear the pages, which can lead to injuries or devastation.
