Wandering around the Labyrinth…

On a Saturday morning the passers by were intrigued by a peculiar construction in Market Square. Cordial smiles on the young people’s faces around it, everyone who was interested was offered to enter the labyrinth of the Human consciousness.

Most people got afraid of such an unusual invitation passed the action by. But those who could find the courage to look inside and come through each corner of the labyrinth got both an unforgettable impression and great pleasure As soon as the brave volunteers came in they found themselves inside a miniature model of the psychiatric hospital, which building one is usually trying to get round. On there right there was a Psychology Counselor’s office where they were offered to pass versatile tests, on there left they could see the observation room, where they would try on a straight-jacket wonderfully tied down by a skillful …………

The art works of the people in whose support the action had been arranged hung on each corner of the Labyrinth. The exhibition sale was on in the art-therapy room. The symbolic rooms of Shame, Stereotypes, the Magic room and the EMPTY room appeared remarkably interesting to the true lovers of the human psychology. Everything was designed with an excellent, refined taste and directed not only on presenting and admiring someone else’s fantasy, but intended to attract one’s attention to the person’s inner world and individual experiences.

The Room of Restrictions where a very ordinary, but, nevertheless so allegoric, tightrope loop hung among a number of different posters with the images of various taboos and vetoes was a real sight to see! As well as the shameful and embarrassing sculptures in the Room of shame the kids had colored.

Various caricatures, sketches, anecdotes about the psychiatrists, plastic works, the famous people’s quotations decorating the labyrinth walls kept the visitors away from boredom. Changing from one room to another the wanderer inside the labyrinth was enjoying a light improvisational music accompaniment contributing still more positive vibrations into the atmosphere.

The visitors were granted the Participant of the Action certificates. More than 600 such IDs were issued by the action’s organizers, which witness the society’s evident interest for actions like that.

All in all, the attempts to celebrate the Day of Toleration for the People with the Psychic disorders the young psychiatric doctors had initiated proved demonstrative and successful by any merit.
