Theatre
The knife is not a knife
THe blood is just ketchup
An Art Made of Trust
Performance =
Mental and physical construction that performer makes in a specific time in a space in front of the audience.
And then energy dialog happens.
The audience and the performer make the piece together
The need of people to experience something different
The public wasn't the group anymore
Relation was one to one
Performance
Knife is a tool
Blood is the material
It's about being there in the real time You can't rehearse it - you can't do many of these things twice, ever
Emotions
Time-based art
If you miss it
you only have your memory
They are observed by other people
Photographed and camera
So much pain and loneliness
She is our mirror
If I can do this for myself, you can do it for you
You can't wash the blood = shame
They walked the Great Wall of China for three months to say goodbye
It's about trust to another human being
End of their 12 year relationship
Arrow and bow
Washing bones (Balkan wars)

This changed her life. This changed everything
Counting rice
What's the difference?
Sound isolated situation
Pain
Human beings are afraid of very simple things
What happened?
Suffering
Mortality
She is staging these kinds of fears in front of the audience
Then she liberates herself from these fears
They had nowhere to escape except to themselves
