You are (not) alone (with the others).

You can not run away from yourself. This is

Golden chain.
Heavy and chained but will contribute to all of those who will be released. They will be ok.

A Babe in the Woods

​​Seeking solitary objects with charisma. Finally several are gathered. The characters act as an appropriate group of props. The entire staged situation requires absolute personification during any given moment.

The body mediates and moderates.

Moods are fluid energies circulating between structures and properties of matter.

Surfaces, shapes, origin, smell and consistency act as letters in the alphabet. Hands are a dinosaur. Oversized monsters that act for the sake of survival. It happens to be an inevitable movement.

While objects are manipulated they cannot fight back having been removed from their original places. They are not able to run or scream.

Being privileged by taking part they succumb and become a sacrifice.
