Badel’s abandoned distillery, in which MONTAЖ$TROJ performed its first full-length play FIRE-TECHNICS, became the scene for the third announcement action of the play FIRE-TECHNICS 2.0 on September 30th, 2010. Badel’s abandoned distillery, a representative example of Zagreb’s industrial architecture, has been left to decay for twenty years and still exist as a reminder of poor management of city resources. In the dusty, dilapidated space, the members of MONTAЖ$TROJ along with the audience watched the daily news show of the Croatian Radio Television at the beginning of the performance. After that, there was a performance of the final scene from the play FIRE-TECHNICS from 1990. The long-lasting repetitive walk ends with a nauseating wailing of hand sirens used for air-raids. B.D.L.2.0. is a performance about oblivion, a dedication to a space in which it was impossible to reconstruct the full-length version of FIRE-TECHNICS due to the utterly decaying condition of this "protected" cultural monument.
B.D.L.2.0
Since none of the authorities took responsibility for the dilapidated condition of Badel, the visitors did it themselves: they entered the space and participated in the activity at their own responsibility.
