The PC is the governed body and the erratic identity. The PC is the amplified version of the perpetual human number. The PC is the performance of some conformism and the system. But, PC prioritizes strangers over friends to duly dispense justice. Thus, beware of paroxysm.
Side note: The Passport Ceremonies is a performance of bureaucracy and labor in 4 extra-ordinary acts. Costumes, props, texts, cocktails, and scent request your presence.
Statement:
“You”; you freelance to a brand, subject to a contract. You get by with a name and a body.
You must respond as introduced, must be one in a system, a nice ordering system, exist none outside, each in a role, like the famous traveling players, you know, charming and charmed, both the foreground and the background, stand here please, we need your picture, the face won’t focus, and excuses line up in formation, failing to stand, but also to disturb, the same, our movement and migration, the stream of change or just entropy you know, always in a new body or style to adopt, anyway dated habits, forcing some kind of production, of integrity and status, like an obsession with principals and class, the ones we make to have and to hold, and to respond to a fixer, before the question is entirely lost, “Who are you”

Routine service: a body of CONSUME tray and a body of TRASH tray offer drinks to visitors

PC Performance 3
In a room full of non-strangers, someone ought to provide order. Someone is selected to be the superior in all. All the rest ought to rectify and fix the selected one up. An official is leading the case.

CELEBRATION
PC Performance 4
None in a whole is a stranger, thus each of a whole should present a strong sense of civic identity and unity. When A belongs to the whole of B and to C and is affirmed of nothing else, and B also belongs to all C, it is necessary that A and B should be convertible: for since A is said of B and C only, and B is affirmed both of itself and of C, it is clear that B will be said of everything of which A is said, except A itself.
Routine service: everyone is entitled to sign and swallow a piece of certified cake.
