“In all layers, we are inherent cultural creatures seeking goodness, beauty and harmony, if these things are no longer in our lives or they are overthrown by becoming second-tier or tenth-tier, wait for something that will overshadow that civilization.
With the withdrawal of art from our lives that reflects our reality, comes a collapse that brings more darkness, aggression and reminds me of Richard Wagner’s opera “The Fall of the Gods”, – said conductor M. Pitrain.
