The main inspiration for our performance was the work of Karl Gustav Jung and his followers, but also the writings of other famous thinkers like Mircea Eliade and Emil Cioran. The quotes of which some have been used in the music can be seen on the page

​

We have also been inspired greatly by the short story of the Russian writer Viktor Pelevin which can be found in the collection "Pineapple water for the fair lady" (in Russian: "Ананасная вода для прекрасной дамы"), a story called "Созерцатель тени" ("Contemplator of the Shadow") - about a man called Oleg who tries to conquer his shadow and burns down right when he gets a hold of it.

The great inspiration for us was also the cartoon “Over the garden wall” which you can watch on the following link:
