Bits of woman's dailiness. Bits of history and memory. Bits of life,
here and now. This theater does not want to be an answer, it is no longer
a mirror., but rather a state of things. Our binding is the life itself.
We hammed, knotted, knitted and wove stories. We composed, arranged and
sewed them., and then tear them apart again. We swam into countless roles
which we have been playing every day, here and now. Our work is but one
attempt at the mystification of the figure of woman, redefinition of icons
and verification of the state of things.
