Duration 15 minutes approximately
Performance in Girona, Spain as part of a residency with Bòlit, Centre d'Art Contemporani Girona and FEM 16.
The work takes the form of a public procession, leading towards a statue beneath the city's cathedral plaza known as the Virgen de la Pera. While ascending the steps to this, the protagonist drops pieces of fruit from her robe which roll back downwards. At the top of the steps, under the statue, she performs a rite with a giant Ferrero Rocher, and invites the participants to eat.
