It is the night of July 9, 2006. One soccer player, a legend. He inevitably demonstrates a sudden, harsh reaction to his opponent over a provocation before the eyes of millions. The reason for this reaction was associated by the media with his root ond otherness. However, we are, as usual, faced with story of revenge. The photograph of moment, which was featured in the world media, almost as advertising material.
The Audience, of course, accepted the event in the way the media portrayed it, preferring its sensational approach. As the audience, we are forced to evaluate that moment in which Zidane furiously butted this opponent as the other "bad boy's attrack" though the perspective of the media, which associated the event with Zidane's otherness an his root as well as using Zidane and the incident as advertising and rating material. Can we perceive or accept Zidane by keeping him away from the prejudices created by media, which associated his identity with his being Algerian as if it were something bad? Or let's imagine that the origin of poem, art and wine is not in the centre of Europe - France - but in Algeria, which has Zidane on its national football team. Let's create an image in your mind about Zidane, who is eliminated from all kinds of prejudices, silent and resistant to being a promotional piece for media. Can we withness his story for a moment?
