The artist lies motionless on the stage. A chicken, incense sticks at the edge of the stage. A gesture to bid farewell to the dead. Raw eggs are distributed in the audience. The artist's favorite songs are played, Vietnamese ballads. The make-up artist takes white make-up and paints the skin of the reclining woman white. White to erase all signs of identity, just like in the theater. Like a white sheet to start a new drawing. After the make-up, the make-up artist leaves the stage, the artist lies on the stage until the incense stick goes out.
