A monologue by Heiki Riipinen. Monomania is an outdated psychiatric diagnosis. However, obsession with a single truth, fixed ideas, and unreasonable reasoning is epidemic in our time. In a chaotic and complex world, we seek unified thinking – and the cure is unknown. MONOMANIA is the story of the hero without a goal. It’s an hour spent in a soft world. MONOMANIA is ME-ME-ME, US, ASHES, BLOOD and COCA-COLA. The work is part of Riipinen’s multi-year investigation of retro culture as a phenomenon and problem, and the second performance to use a medical term as an arena for collective togetherness.
