Called upon music record ‘Years of refusal’, the piece is based on the theme of personal and professional failings, failures, misfortunes, refusals, fiascos, shortly: fizzles.

The performance is being constructed from the mosaic of personal fragments made of memories, abandoned bodies, ex-lives, wasted concepts and broken illusions. Illusions that have lost their powers to protect us. So we must find some new ones; travelling through reflections of the present moment, moment of a live performance. There's something ceremonial in it. In a way it's very similar to the ceremony of protecting yourself from the evil fairies; they say that even if the good fairies do exist, they certainly aren't in the woods. You must always protect yourself before entering a forest. Weird things have happened.
