Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The audience entered the space through a glass door. Then I tied a thin rope to the outside of the door lay down on the ground and tied my feet to two posts on the street. The other end of the rope I swallowed. The performance stopped when someone opened the door from the inside.
