A cat, says the myth, always land on its feet. A sandwich, says experience, always land with the butter down. Consequently, if one puts butter on the back of a cat it will fly, or at least not land. Logic is a winner.Theatre is a machinery of illusions which never tells the truth. To lecture is to produce an apparatus of knowledge that should never lie. Consequently, if one lectures in a theatre, it will be a Bauch Platsch, or the truth told as a lie. The winner is logic. "Extra Clear Power" brings in the audience as the winner, the lecturer as an illusion and the theatre as the talk of the town, between science and fiction here and now. Surprisingly, landing twice up- and side-down.
