Hey , I have an idea , but you will have to (one of you)
to undress at the end.
Title - FAIR PLAY
Performance about the value of money and female-male contacts in times of crisis.
You need : TABLE, 2 CHAIRS, coin with eagle and heads.
You sit at the table and toss the coin 10 times (once by you, once by Volha)
After each toss, you arm wrestle. If you throw heads, you use your left hand, and if you throw eagles, you use your right hand.
You can fight this way - one with the right hand, the other with the left - I tried it once and it’s possible (a bit strange, but it’s possible).
The audience doesn’t see what you’ve got - an eagle or a headstock - but they do see that you’re using your left hand against Volha’s right hand and vice versa.
So you sit down - you throw a coin, it comes out, for example, eagle, so you - right hand - Olga left hand. Olga loses for sure - she tosses, throws an eagle (for example) and now she
right-handed - you left-handed.
And so 10 times. Who won more rounds (let’s say that the chances are more or less equal, since the woman - right hand and the man - left, but the chance for the woman to win increases) So whoever wins, he strips his opponent (preferably naked, but it can be to underwear).
I think it’s an interesting performance for a couple, it has tension, says something about modernity and is quite short. I myself would gladly do it with someone.
