Da hat doch jemand tatsächlich das ganze Konzert vom 19. Mai mitgefilmt. Das ist natürlich in dieser Qualität nur der halbe Spaß. Aber das Text-Intro in den ersten beiden Minuten fand ich sehr stimmig – inklusive Verbeugung vor den Borg und Grace Jones.

Ladies
Gentlemen
Others

Slaves to algorithm!
Welcome to the concert.

This is not
entertainment,
it is an interface:
an audio-visual protocol
designed to engage
your brain and psyche
through intensity,
contradiction,
and ritual.

Please remain calm
and hold your breath.

Your attention will be
monitored.

Your responses
will be analysed.

This concert simulates
authority,
discipline,
and mass behaviour.

Participation is
mandatory.

Enjoyment is optional.

There will be
no resolution.
No catharsis.
Only sustained tension.

If you feel
uncomfortable,
that’s OK.

We are Laibach.

Your life,
as you know it,
is over.

You will be
assimilated.

Resistance is futile.
