La Promenade du Sceptique | Performance
La Promenade du Sceptique: A dark room. The public enters with LED lights and torches. They discover: in the centre of the room a blanket covered with broken glass pieces, on one side of the room a woman sitting on a chair, dressed in pages of a book, on the opposite site of the room a man with a big book in his hands. The partners whistle to each other through the distance and darkness. The woman's face is covered by her hair, the man's by a blindfold. The man walks blindly towards the centre. The woman's position on the chair collapses and retakes continuously. The man places the big book on the floor in the centre and breathes on its cover and pages until exhaustion. The woman walks blindly towards the centre, with each step crumbling white pages. The man takes off his shoes and enters blindly the carpet of broken glass. The woman, blind and stiff, falls towards the centre. The man catches her falling body. She walks one time around the entire blanket, with each step falling onto its centre, the man always catches her, they are both blind. The man takes the woman on his arm and turns around himself in the middle of the broken glass. He places the woman to stand on the big book. He wraps the blanket with the glass pieces up around her. The woman uncovers her face. The man takes off his shirt. The woman exits the position, and the man takes her place. The woman takes off a piece of latex from this back and invites the visitors one by one to write on the man's back, asking them: "Do you remember?"
