In performance, the artist exhibits his "butoh" white body, hung in convoluted poses. At first glance, the body is under control but actually, it is fighting with itself, searching for peace, control, and balance: physical and emotional. The performance lasts 35 to 45 minutes, depending on how long the body can take it. With agonizing poses, the performer caused his shoulder to dislocate. He was taken from the scene as a pietà.

Break21, the 6th international festival of emerging artists, was entitled Dead or Alive. The apocalyptic tone of the syntagm Dead or Alive involves the staging as well as practical thinking on the paradigms of the living, semi-living, semi-dead and dead. Their contemporary transformations have evolved from trends and changes in science and technology, reaching out also to religious and ideological concepts and psychological states.
