DESCRIPTION:

If you take 1 away from 2, you get one. This is a performance about loneliness. Loneliness next to the closest person, a mother, who was burned out from the inside by the war and excessive responsibility for the life and safety of a child.
4.5.0 is a military code that means "everything is calm."
When something is taken away from you, do you feel calm? Does loneliness equal peace?

But in fact, this is a performance about losses, about strength, living life, about important decisions and how real personalities are formed in the hellish hearth of war.
