“Here, pop culture deities roam freely, interact and converse with each other without any pretense. Casually dressed before their transformation into their stage personas, they return after their performances, tired and satisfied, ready to embrace the entire world”<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Koji\u0107<\/strong> and Ambrozi\u0107<\/strong> describe at the very beginning of the report, introducing us to the festival’s Gorki List Main Stage<\/strong> backstage and highlighting freedom as the absolute leitmotif of EXIT:<\/strong> “At EXIT, everyone feels free.
