![]() In the final scene, ‘trapped you’ puts the knife on the ground as a way of accepting himself, but gets fatally wounded by ‘average you’ from unresolvable conflict. Being one and the same as the ‘average you’, ‘trapped you’ somehow believes they’re different. This brings about the turning point where ‘trapped you’ try to escape from the ‘average you’. ![]() ‘Trapped you’ does not realize the severity of the situation until their doomsayer friend is hurt. In the short film, the ‘average you’ arrives as an intruder to claim the life of ‘trapped you’. Here’s how they go: Hello, it’s me, the average you./It’s been a whole life that we’ve been through/ We didn’t change, feared the unknown/ There goes our life and we have nothing to show/ Welcome to the dull. The lyrics basically describe the source of the core conflict. There is an easter egg in the song that plays during the final scene and credits. So any system, although made for advancing to the next point, ends up being just a self-defensive contrivance, and once you are trapped inside of it, you will realize the shoes aren’t inside the box, and you’re never getting to the walking part.

This embodies the form of art Ateatar tries to achieve: an aesthetic experience should be like being stranded in a burning house, and observing it from outside at the same time. In their logo, the word ‘ateatar’ is half inside a burning house. Prefixing ‘a’ to ‘teatar’ stands for their relation to theater that is open to interpretation: the most common is negation, expressing their opposition to traditional theater. The name “Ateatar” was inspired by one of the two words in the Croatian language for theater, ‘kazalište’ and ‘teatar’. This leads to a mysterious series of mishaps where his doppelganger barges in with murderous intent. Having been turned down by all of them, he finds himself inexplicably situated in a contraption where his interactions with the outside world are framed in panels.
