The audience is invited to help Silvia clean her husband Massimo In this interactive performance, However, when he becomes clean, he starts getting dirty again. Massimo has a bucket in front of him with a dirty mixture to cover his body, while Silvia has a bucket with pure water and rags. Silvia begins cleaning the dirty Massimo and invites people to collaborate with her as she explains the performance. Massimo previously suffered from severe depression and a dramatic lack of self-care during a runaway period in his life. Silvia's act is a gentle challenge to the practice of humiliation. As a significant part of the performance, Silvia will launch daily Facebook live streams. Although called a show, this is not purely for observation, as the dirtiness will be genuine, and Massimo's naked chest will be exposed to the cold air.
