Summary
Ivica Čuljak: They called me the Pannonian Satan
Punk gave Ivica Čuljak everything: medium, language, identity and the opportunity to discover his own artistic talent. His career moment came at the end of the 1980s, when the enthusiast Zdenko Franjić presented the entire Vinkovac scene - Satan of Pannonia, Mothers, Chaotic Souls, Corrupted Imagination, Incorrigibles - to the public.
He claimed that his real life would begin after death, and he certainly did not disappear into the dark labyrinths of collective memory, nor did his artistic and human biography fall apart. He proved to be resistant to the acid of time, unfit for simplification and manipulation, capable of living his posthumous life in the hearts of those who met him, understood him and loved him as he was. His battle against inhumanity, heartlessness, corruption and hypocrisy did not stop after his death: and new generations of rejected, lost, lonely, traumatized, sick and unfortunate see him as unchanging, inflexible, insoluble in rebellion. Satan lives!
