It serves as an introductory showcase prior to later reprises, conceived as a public intervention in real gaming clubs (the process of creating the performance also took place publicly in these gaming venues). The piece, in its premiere performance and first reprise, mimics the logic and atmosphere of a gaming club environment, as well as an aesthetic reminiscent of sports television broadcasts. However, instead of a billiards game on stage, a massage unfolds, intended to relax the billiard table and its accessories. In the background of the entire situation, a subtle romantic subplot about forbidden love can be observed. The work can also be interpreted as a commentary on the recent rise of esoteric practices in contemporary art and within the context of object-oriented ontology. The scenic movement and dance piece for two performers is a presentation commissioned by the National Gallery Prague to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the division of Czechoslovakia (though the work does not specifically respond to this moment)
