The woman behind the window stands motionless and looks out onto the street while the visitors come and mingle with her. After a long time, she slowly awakens and struggles to free herself from her own body. The sounds of a violin can be heard from the window of an apartment several floors above the gallery. What at first seems like a coincidence becomes increasingly provocative - the violin becomes louder and with an indefinable murmur and the roar of a woman's voice. She arouses the audience as she moves intimately through the crowd and then takes over the entire area of the street, dancing wildly. An anonymous female pedestrian passes by the scene. She pauses on the other side of the street. She takes out a violin and begins to play a spontaneous duet with the violin sounds coming from the window, creating a surreal stereo effect around the the "stage" of the audience.

She eventually dances away and disappears into the darkness of the streets. The audience seems unsure whether to wait for her return. The sound has almost evaporated and everything points to an end that is not certain. Performers (who are anonymous among the audience) begin to move slowly and restlessly through the bodies, gradually becoming more intense and coming very close, but without actual physical contact. This increasingly leads to a state of chaos and absurdity that breaks the measured ritual of the audience apart. It culminates in a climax in which all the performers and even some real audience members laugh and cry hysterically. The performance dissolves by gradually transitioning into the banal experience of a typical opening event, which sets the tone for the rest of the evening.
