Film shadow performance. "First presented in 1971 using three 16mm projectors each with a short loop of changing colour. Projected onto the same screen – the centre image large and the two side images smaller and superimposed into the centre of the larger screen. The performing body casts complex colour shadow. The action begins touching the screen and - passing through the space of the audience – it ends at the projectors. The actions are timed to an audio tape of breathing. Though improvised in detail to fit the particular time and place, the action follows a consistent pattern that has changed little since the first performance.".

It is a first novel and it is an ultimate work. It is a stylistic revolution and a political scandal. It is a woman and it is the whole human race. It is a novelist of the 19th century and it is our eternal contemporary. From October 1 to December 15, 1856, Gustave Flaubert had Madame Bovary, mœurs de province published in serial form in the Revue de Paris. Just over a month later, he was brought before the courts for "offences against public and religious morality and decency". Penalty: one year in prison.
