The performative piece aimed to transform non-theatrical spaces into spaces for artistic action through simple interventions. With the attendance of invited guests, to find a centre in them through the perspective of different forms and shapes of participation. E.g.: listening to the space through ordinary objects of daily use, or various found objects placed in acoustically senseless positions; becoming aware of the fragility of invisible space through the interpretation of electromagnetic waves; performing a musical composition on an instrument in the form of a space and its furnishings, etc. Simply creating situations at points of belonging through smells, tastes, dance, voice, sound and action in time spent together.
