Recapitulation

work in progress

Dear friends and friends' friends! Be nice. You do want to be nice. Niceness is nice. Be nice to your own happiness. It’s working for you dutifully.
Be proud of yourself. For once in your modest existence, feel the pride. Learn how to kneel down in front of your own feet. Wash and kiss them.
Serve others to please yourself.

The performance is supported by Plesna Izba Maribor in the frame of the festival's co-production activities.
