Circus Maximus: UNTITLED RITUAL – a memorial for my lost fat

UNTITLED RITUAL – a memorial for my lost fat

My nemesis could not be completely executed because that means I have to kill myself…
A half successful self-murder…
A joke that laughs at itself!
A pagan memorial service could be the first step to befriend the enemy.

By an eclectic collage of invented rituals, I revisit my deceased fat’s last years and our relationship.

This is a confessionary performance about my struggle with body-image issues, the pills and other demons that came with it.
