Scream is based on the Oslo 2004 theft of Munch's existentialist painting The Scream. The painting will be displayed at Munch’s showcase at the London 2012 Olympics. Scream aims to present the story of Zlatan Jašarević, the man who stole the painting but was never arrested. The man, who destroyed this painting. Scream discusses the relationship between Munch’s biography, the story of the painting’s conception, the media response to the theft in 2004, Zlatan Jašarević’s story and his connection to the woman, who was, at the time of the theft, a museum guard. Scream talks about the cause and effect link between the artist and the person who, a hundred years later, steals his painting.

Scream aims to discover the mechanism of rhetoric, persuasion as an art form, reversing the flow of media, the judiciary, what did and did not happen. The performers use words as a hunting method. The hunter and that which is hunted, a paradigm, twist in the physicality of voice, the voice of the body, the relationships between performer, event, truth and audience. Each of the performers is a carrier of this contradiction on stage, in sex and flesh, in the transference of other people’s views, in their inner and outer states, in their being on stage. Scream wishes to exhaust the borders of media by constantly transgressing from one side to the other, from the digital to the physical, from the virtual to the real. Scream is a guidebook to becoming a terrorist in nine steps and three years.

“Scream again confirms Kadin’s subtle approach to presentation that reaches a high level of sharpness in content [...] which the performance catches in a rare, subtle manner.”  (Zala Dobovšek, Delo, 10. June 2011)
