The performance - MERCY (for)HCHOUMA reflects on the concept of shame from a cultural - historical perspective. Ritual ablutions from a centuries-old tradition come to the forefront in actions that function as bonding elements. Their impact also reaches further because they can affect us significantly as human beings. Within the psycho-mental space created by the performance, among others there may follow an experience of catharsis. The physical and mental processes that occur during the performance are recorded and registrated. Registrations from the performance are a part from the installation THE ARENA
