The audience is at the top of the stairs and along the low wall used as a parapet. A heavy stream of water falls from a gutter further up directly on Anna Byskov\u0027s head. She is soaked, her clothes are transparent. She marches in place swinging her arms while hypnotically staring in front of her. In silence she does that for a few minutes. Then with a loud voice she announces the steps as if she was climbing them, or wanted to climb them: \u00221st step\u2026 2nd step\u2026 3rd steps\u2026\u0022 She stares at them. Sometimes she falls in her discourse as if she fell from the steps and starts the statement again: \u00221st step\u2026 2nd step\u2026\u0022 The hesitations, the pauses, the exhaustion of the body and the voice are more or less important between the announcement of the steps. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAgain she climbs the steps to go back two or three times once going up to the 6th step. The waterfall still directed on her head, stunning rather than relaxing and massaging. She continues to march in place swinging her arms. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFinally, after a climb in the discourse up to the 7th step, she tilts her head back and receives the water stream straight in her face. It seems that water enters through her mouth. She straightens her head stares at the steps as a necessity to concentrate, moves forward and climbs the steps one after the other determined to finally get out of the \u0022whole\u0022 and split though the crowd in silence. The audience applauds.\u003C\/article\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n        \u003C\/section\u003E\n              \u003Csection class=\u0022field field-name-field-description field-type-textauthor field-label-above\u0022\u003E\n    \t\u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-label\u0022\u003EDescription\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n        \u003Cdiv class=\u0022field-item odd \u0022\u003E\u003Carticle class=\u0022filtred_html\u0022\u003EI am on the very premises, I have a perplex look, anxious awaiting something. I am dressed with white bell bottoms and a white polo shirt. I am not wearing any make-up, I have nothing very attractive. A stream starts, the flow is low. After a few minutes, in silence, the impact of the stream  becomes stronger on my head: an allusion to torture and lobotomization methods I try to escape by counting the number of steps that will have to be climbed. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EInitially, I wanted to be dull in my \u0022grey hole.\u0022 Water is inevitably going to reveal the body while I am undergoing torture.
