The performance started at sharp 2 pm and ended at 2:50 pm. The main purpose of this performance was
the promotion of the up-coming Washroom Projects in the staircases of Hackney Empire. Parts of the
performance was very much about what was happening on the 7th of July - the bombings. However, that
was not planned at all. Owen was washing his head in a bucket and then dried his hair using paper on
which he had written "certain things" as for example "We are generating ideas for a new performance"
while I was shooting at people with a pistol made of Christina's Tesco tea box. His washing was like
a muslim washing ritual... Well, no offence! And on top of this Irma, Mike, Jacqueline and Piere were handing out flyers for the event in the staircases of Hackney Empire. Have a look at the flyer...hmm?

Anyway, Christina was offering tea bags to people she had loved from the first time she had seen them but as a matter of deepest regret she could not sleep with. Eirini was standing ready to be part of a tasty Spagetthi meal.

Well, there is a lot to say about the whole thing... but have a look at the photos and the film and next time somewhere you can see the live thing. It is much better anyway.
