The document describes a performance art piece depicting a person struggling to break free from dogmatic indoctrination. In the performance, the protagonist vacuums themselves inside a plastic bag to represent extracting themselves from the guilt and expectations of their upbringing. As the air in the bag becomes restricted, the dogmatic texts they had internalized are squeezed out and written on the walls of the bag before melting away. Leaving the confining bag represents the possibility of a new beginning with open pores to welcome new ideas, but it is a difficult and almost breathless process to fully liberate oneself from internalized doctrines.

A broken development! This mold can last a lifetime without spoiling. In fact, the dogmas stick to skin and hair. Each fiber reacts according to the pre-programmed pattern. In this performance, the protagonist has wrested and uprooted himself from guilt and expectations according to which pattern the indoctrination was established. This new path with its own life ingredients is not instant, but fresh, so can easily spoil and evaporate: A clear view can evaporate. Fresh ingredients can spoil. The main character counteracts this by allowing himself to be completely vacuumed during this performance. The newly acquired look, therefore, remains fresh and cannot spoil! However, this is not without a struggle. As a result, breathing becomes heavier and heavier. Almost breathless! It takes courage and stamina to keep going! The air in the plastic bag in which it is located becomes more and more closed off. The texts that were stuck in the head are squeezed out. They are

The red letters trickle away due to the increased heat. Like spilled blood and forbidden tears from her. The texts with the dogmas are liberated from memory and melt. They can no longer be seen! The liberation has begun. But the breath is almost taken. Also for the spectators. Leaving the bag is difficult. A new beginning is possible. There is also the opening of the pores. Through which newly desired ideas from outside are also welcome and can offer reinforcement.
