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.
