by ZORNITSA SOFIA
The author’s pay off of some social, sexual and racial damaged rights

---

Scenario:
A nice looking white woman, dressed up with luxury and style gets of from a limousine [a big car] in the center of a poor gypsy village. Lots of gypsy around and a circle of chairs with gypsy men of all ages sitting and talking. They expect her. She washes up each man's feet slowly as some sort of unseen ritual. Then she dries theirs feet with a towel all the time working on her knees. The atmosphere is friendly even extremely unusual, no one show surprise or so. They talk and laugh, she works and talks as well.

The other performance features a white nice looking guy in a tacsido or a formal suit who arrives at same looking circle of chairs with gypsy women of all ages sitting. They are loud and friendly, speaking and laughing while he washes up each one woman's feet then dry them with a towel. Slowly, carefully and paying attention to the details he works on his knees.

Concept:
The performance and the edited films explore the what is politically correct but also playing around the theme in an exaggerated perspective. Due to this exaggeration some controversial feelings are to race in the viewers minds.

From all shame the white race should feel, to anger or to even catharsis.

Concerning the author this is a bill she feels the need to pay.

Final pieces:
Performance. Video film/s documentation of the performance edited in a movie like way from different perspectives, close ups, etc. To be shown in a gallery environment on a wall.

Short videos, edited versions of the above film/s to be projected in unusual places: railway stations, metros to encounter larger public, to provoke reactions, responses, fast food catharsis, thoughts etc.
