We cheer for rebellion, we want the Teké.

The Teké originated in Greece in the first half of the 20th century as a tavern, brothel, smoking den, theater, and stage in general. It is a lively place where a participatory and shared culture thrives, where form is subordinate to substance.

This stands in opposition to today's daily life, where a regimented global culture, lacking any appeal for those who do not participate in the regime, is imposed "by force" on people who are too dull to perceive how art is life. Just think for a moment about the difference between a patron of the Teké and a representative of what is now called culture: life versus boredom.

We cheer for rebellion, we want the Teké. Our flight of fancy is a living culture that saves us from this melancholic downward homogenization.
