The meat, the wine, the darkness, the torches, the blood, the flowers, the brides, the magazines, the bird's cage, the fish bowl, the puppy, the scream, the high-hills, the livers and the bones, the mess, the crowd, the corridors, the abandoned hotel rooms, the dirty kitchen, the butcher's papers, the blood, the skin, the love words, the scream, the questions about art, about war, about civilization, about summer, the flashes, the dance, the barging, the immigrants, the academics, the youths, the bodies, the skin, the breasts, the caresses, the touch, the public, the private, the invasion, the smoke, the fire, the fire alarms, the coal, the orders, the recipes from 1980's, the workers law from 1988, the loss of control, the blood, the strings, the production, the process, the market, the body sculptures, the thief, the cook, the wives, the lovers, the lovers, the torches, the darkness, the footsteps, the bones, the livers, the blood, the meat, my breasts, my ass, their hands, the meat, the crowd, the mechanic sound, the strings, the tools, the needs, the strings, the cook, the thief, the wives and the lovers...
1st scene:
In the darkness, in an abandoned hotel, in the main kitchen, old broken rusted metals, dust and broken glass. About 60 people.
Two flighted figures on high-hills. A luggage full of meat.
Present to the audience, an invitation and a passport to the performance.
"That's the good stuff! Come on guys, it's all free!"
2nd scene:
In a wide corridor a woman rolls on high-hills towards the dark, the audience is following her. At the end of the corridor there is a door. Two women are posing on either side of the door welcoming the audience into a dark narrow corridor.
3rd scene:
The audience walks along the dark corridor. In the middle of it across the two sides two people/performers are waiting in each hotel room.
The interrogation. Questions form the one side of the corridor and flash light from the other.
The audience passed through the corridor until the end of it.
4th scene:
2nd floor.
Another not so dark corridor.
On the left side the rooms are the exhibition spaces, on the right side there is a string along the corridor, in front of the rooms, from the beginning till the end.
At the beginning of the corridor two women take the wrapped meat form the audience, they unwrap it and hung it on the production string. They pull the string and the pieces of liver move forward towards the room where the grill is. The cook receives it there and grills it. The cooked meet is then placed back to the string and continues forward till the end of the corridor where it is received by two workers. They sew the pieces on a metal mesh to form the bodies of the two lovers.
This is a fusion of three different texts, "The Quartett" by Heiner Muller, "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf" by Edward Alfee and "Le Mempris" by Jean-Luc Godard. All these texts develop around the relationship of a couple and the different kinds of crises that couples go through.
The text starts around thematics such as love, the dependence of affection, body appearance and it develops into a conversation around jealousy, wealth, politics, and war.

- The production cycle:
At the beginning of the corridor two women take the wrapped meat form the audience, they unwrap it and hung it on the production string. They pull the string and the pieces of liver move forward towards the room where the grill is. The cook receives it there and grills it. The cooked meet is then placed back to the string and continues forward till the end of the corridor where it is received by two workers.
