Dear Sir,

Having studied your proposal for collaboration on the TESLA project, which you are developing withRobert Wilson, we would like to inform you that the Dubrovnik Festival is interested in taking part inthis collaboration both programme- and production-wise.

We would be happy if the Dubrovnik Festival could give its share in the development of this

production, and if the premiere could take place in the late summer/early autumn, at the latest by 15September 2014.We are ready to offer, according to our abilities, all our assistance - both where finances and logisticsare concerned - in order to carry out the project. We find the projects concept to be quite interestingin its present-day phase and to have artistic and media potentials which can be developed in time,offering artistic challenge of working in the Festivals new venues.

Kindest regards,

Kreimir Doleni,Dubrovnik Festival Director

MYSTICALLY/SPIRITUALLY

The man with lighting in his hand

Creates energy out of nothing

Master of thunder

Kills darkness bringing light

Died alone feeding pigeons

Liked to meet people involved in occult practice

Some parts of his life are still a mystery

There is no known film footage of Tesla
