edited sound of the performance

I did not rehearse this performance. I brought an image from a dream and materials to paint it (i did not know that i was painting in front of a paint store). I also brought some shame and I called the chicken.

the shame ended up being my dad's shame to be of German origin and it lead me to listening to a German voice which called for "tanzen", i.e. dancing. the chicken showed up while dancing and I thanked it/him/her.
