In vino veritas?

Does wine really bring the truth or merely seduction in purgatory, banishment to hell and return to heaven? Will you let Senzorium surprise you and so you will return wiser for an insight?

IN VINO VERITAS? with its sensorial theatrical poetics – takes the visitors on a journey of processing grapes into wine and helps them in a Dionysiac manner to uncover the truth about themselves, wine, themselves in wine and wine in themselves.

The project is a part of the concept of the exhibition about wine in Slovenia: “Anew the vines have fruited” that takes place in Slovene Ethnographic Museum between November 2008 and June 2009.

IN VINO VERITAS :
Omnes tenebrae sunt dies novus.
Omnis turpis stellae superbia. Quisque poeta suae laetitiae.
Fundum tangendi iterum surgunt.
Anima, inspicas! In oculos sibi prospectas!
Repercutit, ignescit, saltat, clamat.
Lacrima mare facta est cum illac labitur…
Gaudeas!
Tenebras tangas
et diem novum inspicas!

IN VINO VERITAS english
Every darkness is a new day. Every monster a star’s vanity.
Every man a poet of their happiness. Only those who touch the bottom,
arise again.
Soul, look!
Look into your eyes!
It reflects,
radiates, dances, screams! A drop becomes the sea, when it drips in it.
Rejoice! Touch the darkness and
look into a new day. Rejoice.
