It appears in the form of the humanoid-contaminated lighting of the Katedrala Hall, a robot and two young women from an a cappella theatre.
Barefooted shepherdesses dance across the sky, because that is the only way. Silence, freed from expectation, gently hibernates behind the trees of Kino Šiška. Cups of coffee carelessly smoke in the cathedral of the white mosque, so that one rolls away. Two listen quietly to the news at the bottom of the sea.
The insignificant one quickly slips into infinity to learn to knit. Because the lights were too loud, aliens gracefully disappear into black light. You crazy flower.
At the kind request of the robot Attitude, a green and an orange bag drown themselves among the audience. The show gently dances in your head, because no one else does. Because it is hot, two voices nicely embrace your neck. Beams of light accidentally tickle you at the back of the head in order to seduce you. The glowing web sacrifices its life at the edge of the world, in order to feel something bigger. My mind surprisingly disappears somewhere in the middle of the stage and everyone is so very worried. A cold haze catches fire in front of your eyes in order to be heard.
Isn't that what we do constantly? We weave a story about who we are. We try to make this story solid, all-encompassing, free of holes and flaws. But what is left when we unravel these stories, those threads. What is left when we stop knitting our lives in the latest fashion?

Drugi ne obstaja.
Psihoanaliza ne deluje.
Svet je nor.
Prikazuje se v obliki humanoidno okuženega svetlobnega parka Katedrale, robota in dveh mladenk a cappella gledališča.
Bose pastirice po nebu plešejo, ker je to edini način. Tišina, osvobojena pričakovanja, nežno ždi za drevesi Kina Šiška. Skodelice kave brezskrbno kadijo v katedrali bele džamije zato, da se ena odkotali. Na morskem dnu dve tiho poslušata novice.
Nepomembnež hitro zdrsne v neskončnost, da se nauči plesti. Ker so bile luči preglasne, nezemljani milostno izginejo v črno svetlobo. Ti nora roža.
Na prijazno prošnjo robota Attitude se zelena in oranžna vrečka utapljata med publiko. Predstava nežno pleše v tvoji glavi, ker nihče drug ne. Ker je vroče, dva glasova lepo objemata tvoj vrat. Snopi svetlobe te na-ključ-no dražijo po hrbtu glave, da bi te zapeljali. Svetleča mreža žrtvuje svoje življenje na robu sveta, da bi začutila nekaj večjega. Moj um presenetljivo izgine nekje sredi odra in vsi so tako zelo zaskrbljeni. Mrzla meglica zlahka zagori pred tvojimi očmi, da bi bila slišana.
Ali ni to tisto, kar nenehno počnemo? Pletemo si zgodbo o tem, kdo smo. Trudimo se, da je ta zgodba trdna, vseobsegajoča, brez lukenj in pomanjkljivosti. Toda kaj ostane, ko razpletemo te zgodbe, te niti? Kaj ostane, ko nehamo plesti svoja življenja po zadnji modi?
