Performed by Veronika Odynets and directed by Aljoscha at the National Circus of Ukraine, Kyiv.
What happens when the boundaries of cognition are breached?
The clowness wanders the arena with a transparent bioism, discovering a strange hole in the old carpet. Creeping closer, she finds it to be a portal into another dimension. Creeping, she pushes the bioism, her shoe, and then herself through the strange dusty hole.
On the other side, she feels an unexpected happiness, standing in a place beyond her previous cognition. This humiliating journey describes neural plasticity, where the brain reevaluates and rebuilds cognition. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex reorganize synaptic connections, adapting and expanding knowledge frameworks. Odynets's joy reflects the fulfillment of defying cognitive limits and evolving the mind’s horizons.
