About the show
An attempt to return to sorcery, a spell calling for an encounter - an encounter that desires to happen, to begin, to end, and to be. An impossible encounter between us and a suicide bomber; if it were to occur, it would be magical. An attempt for a spiritual bond with those who departed while trying to end us, and end with us.
The idea of this show started from an impossible premise: One where each of us is assumed to have their own bomber, and destined to die at their hands. We are all subject to this inescapable equation.
I decided to write this text - this hex, as a means to converse with the bomber assigned to me. And at the same and right time, I use it to prolong my life a little, or even to survive. Who knows.
It is an attempt to create an impossible encounter with a suicide bomber. It is the same intimate moment of my death at his hands.
