I had prepared two pairs of pants which had been cut every five centimeters vertically up until the height of shorts, held by elastics. Three fans were on the front of the stage directed towards us, turned off. We sit on two stools around a table, chessboard, and chess clock set to 5 minutes per side.

Music from Philip Glass, three minutes long, the first part goes by quickly. I get up, removing the elastic and signaling to Karim (Gabrillargues) to do the same. I connect the 3 fans. The breeze lifts the pants’ bands. We continue to the second part. We get up, draw near to the 3 fans ; the sidebands are rising almost horizontally. Thirty second reprise of the soundtrack: recording of whales dying. We greet the public.
