Place for the action: City of Oporto, D. Frei Jerónimo Brito & Mello street, nš152 (ina a compartment of the private house)
The performance we propose, which we designated at personal level: "we are quiet at home", can understand this structure: We stay in a closed compartment of a house, quiet and in silence during the 24 hours, and the idea is that we will put in the door of the respective house, a paper of great format with the following informative elements for the general public:
We are celebrating Nyepi: Bali`s Day of Silence
Beginning 18th of March 2007 at 16:00 p.m., during 24hours.
Please not to disturb, we are in silence and quiet.
If you want, go home and do the same.

° Couillard, Paul / Canada_
Small report about SILENCE #2 (at the table, with thanks to Boris Nieslony)_Perhaps you remember that I spoke to you of this idea, to sit at a table for 24 hours and invite others to sit in silence with me for as long as they wished... I acknowledged you in the title of the piece because of this conversation, but also because I think the few times we have felt comfortable together have been moments of shared silence. Having evoked you in the title, I certainly had a feeling of your presence many times throughout the 24 hours. (And of course I was also thinking of NYEPI, although it is not for another week...)_The space of the performance was difficult, a lobby space at the university, and I suspected that the conditions would add to the challenge for people. I was not wrong in this belief: For the most part, people were unwilling to really engage with the invitation in the piece. Of course many people would read the invitation, and say _to me that they thought this was a great idea, but then mostly they would walk away without sitting with me. Many more sat down but felt the need to talk, to entertain, to take care of me or themselves in some superficial way. Some sat but would turn away from me, or do things like turn their walkman on... A few tried, very genuinely, to sit TOGETHER in silence, but could not really sink very deeply into this special space. But also, I am pleased to say, I had three truly remarkable encounters with people who I felt really joined me in silence, and together we listened to all that was around us, full of feeling, but not distracted by it, simply being. Or being simply.. Paul

Our performence called in french ' Soyons 9', 'being nine' 'being new' . I haven't choose yet all my partners.
Being new,appear in my eyes like before, during or after to priate as if you clean your mind. I've send you last time my ideas about our participation looks out... It was
Bertrand who translate it for you.
I'm a bit confused with my english, but i will try to do it again... There are three people, in three part of the world: One in France is name is Bruno Mercet, an other in Canada, her name is Amélie Laurence Fortin and the next in France, it's me, Fabien Montmartin, each of us will invit two other peoples. It can be in a gallerie or in private room 'caus my idea consist on making by webcam and internet to diffuse in France the canadians' performences, and in Québec what is happenning in France on the same time. People
might see the performence in a place and what happen in an other part of the world joined by the same topic... Silence... it will be beautifull.
I'd like to say the way I think 'silence' or 'movelessness':
Silence is the unical border line where the soul can reconize herself. Being quiet, it's for men or women being full of the Univers, and for a short time maybe, he or her forgets troubles and as a dancer can fell the energy of happiness.

° Paquete, Hugo - HYURO ZORBA / Portugal
My performance will be record some abstract questions that i go make to some persons and make the distribution of a flayer
with the sentence: the red squaw is - as the yellow one and the yellow one is + then the triangular shape that is in contact with the red square and in contact with the green cycle but not in contact with the black rectangular
shape in the top of this with sheet.
The emptiness in action is less important than casual and a bio electric distension of your arm's think in the circle and move your self to the left 45 degrees, make a pause fill your brief in and out of your longs, think in the yellow square that not exist in parallel
with your action and move your self to the right 30 degrees and jump,spot is good in that way.
Now go home and make your live as a normal person if you want you can be a dissident and question the reason of this flayer and construct a
basis of arguments about art and casual situation, about the performance that you make fouling this orders.
But the most important is that you are participating in the The 15th Performance Art Conference. Will do this 24 hours.

"... every rite of transition recapitulates the social balances, collects and fixes in a certain space and in a certain time the pictures and re/actions which have been developed in the course of history."
