i say hi to all my theater friends

every day I'm confronted with people who are working in the theatre and performance field. artists, curators and producers influenced and influence me consciously and subconsciously. even if I don't meet anyone of those people - they are present, designing the way of my life. they left one's mark on me; which lead now my thoughts and work. so it's time to say hi to all of you - my friends.

the audience is sitting around a table - i am sitting at the end. i start to tell short anecdotes about all people i know from my art field. after every story i take a vodka, saying cheers to these friends. after finishing half a bottle someone removes the vodka. i take a second one which i had in a bag under the table, continuing with stories and drinking. after some drinks again someone removes the bottle. i take small 4cl bottles out of my pockets, continuing drinking and talking. after one 1 1/2 hours people bring me to the toilet and to sleep. they drink the rest of the vodka.
