The performance took place in the premises of an invalid hospital, which has a diverse history of caring for the disabled. Due to the fact that a lot of disabled people could have various dysfunctions, I decided to explore for myself in these areas, what it must be to work with some limitations. That's why I fixed my joints with various objects, plaster bandages and prepared canapés for all guests.
However, it turned out to be much more challenging than it may seem. I had never worn plaster before and had used plaster bandages for the first time. So from the very beginning, it was a challenge to use plaster bandages and fix it properly. As I figured it out, another snag awaited me, fixing my hands. The first hand went well, with the other hand the follower already helped me.
Throughout the performance, I felt like a child, as I had to learn to do ordinary things with this indisposition and I discovered new ways. Thanks to that, I was able to experience what it must be like, live with obstacles in life and adapt to things.
