Martin Burlas composed the song Record of the Seventh Day in response to the unflattering political situation in Slovakia in the 1990s. Plato's texts responded to the government crisis in Syracuse in the 4th century BC. The performance Seventh Day has been created at a time when we are experiencing a crisis again, and not just a political one. Seventh day is a symbol for exhalation, leaving, ending the cycle. It is a border day that heralds a new week, but despite the peace, it contains the tension of an expected start.
