Named after a music record "The Years of Refusal', the piece is based on the theme of personal and professional failures, failures, mishaps, denials, fiascos, in short: deflagrations.​

The performance is constructed from the mosaic of personal fragments of memories, abandoned bodies, ex-lives, wasted concepts and broken illusions. Illusions that have lost their power to protect us. So we have to find new ones; a journey through the reflections of the present moment, the moment of a live performance. There is something ceremonial about it. In some ways it's similar to the ceremony of protecting yourself from the bad fairies; they say that even if the good fairies exist, they're certainly not in the forest. One must always protect oneself before entering a forest. Strange things have happened.​
