”We are all inside a circle at this very moment. In fact, we are often encircled. We were encircled during the communist era, too. Sometimes we are encircled because of tradition, family, or personal obssessions... Man is always trying to escape the circles encircling him. There are various concentric circles encompassing us, since our very birth. Sometimes even family can be such a circle, sometimes the State, ideology or globalisation... There is always a source of oppression or coercion around, and I have captured this human desire for escape in a story – an allegory, a philosophical fable: The Man in the Circle.”
