Without being a direct illustration or a manual on above-described syndrom, "Catatonia" of NAE (with the stress on the 3rd syllable) manifests, however, many contiguity points both with mobility impairment and psychic disfunctions (with the exception of first 3 pieces, where one can see more of jazz aesthetics along the lines of New York "noise scene"). The most central and striking part of the program -- "Maniacal Procession With Dancing, Reciting And Throwing Bones Into The Audience" -- shows in all completeness the models of hebephrenic joy-torture with its sharpened enough flat-mindness, clownism, verbegerations, disgusting at times and scandal sound, and which in the course of 45 minutes expands into grandiouse and insane bolero of Gorbi perestroika's time. Inspite of the impressiveness of the procession scale, wittiness of many "bones", flat acting of the musicians, their specific performance skills make the described canvas hypnotic in its impudence and unbearable at the same time.
