Things needed for performance

· Candles

· Glass foil

· E- cigarette

· Box with cards

· Fork – knife

· Apple – orange

· Pencil – pen

· Phone-book

· Shoe – sock

· Dark room

Performance instructions 

Light as many small candles as possible in a dark room.

The foil should be wrapped around your entire body so that even your face will not be fully visible.

The rest of the items from the list (apart from the e-cigarette) should be placed in the centre of the room around/near the candles.

In the midst of candles, sit with a confused expression.

Pick a random card from the box, pretend to choose between the two items, and repeat the process until the box is empty.

*There were some electronic cigarettes used by the audience to create a fog effect. The performer was confused and believed that this was a fire, which led to him becoming unconscious.
