A man sits on the floor. On his lap lies a red cocoon. One performer moves in the spectator's space, breathing into a microphone and inviting the people to breathe with her. The cocoon moves around the axis of its retainer. Out of the cocoon comes a female body, covered with black signs. She tears off the skin from the back of her retainer and writes on his back.
