SUITEnovus is a performance for one person at a time in a hotel suite. Invited by the woman, the guest enters the room and finds the bed covered in light. Voices speak in three languages about atrocities and list the names of angels. The woman hands the guest a pair of life-sized wings and invites them to take some time to stay on the bed with the wings, while she reads silently a book about angels in another corner of the room. The guest is then guided by the woman into the bathroom, where the man, dressed in a tuxedo, lies in the bathtub filled with water. The man asks the guest her or his date of birth. On the basin are metal cards with dates and the names of the angels. The man reads the name of the angel to the guest. The guest leaves.
