The crowd gathers in this space. Performer sets up clusters of candles on the floor, inviting spectators to participate in a playful ritual in the darkness - to light the candles and walk with the light. Text posted on the wall by the performer suggests the rules of the ritual. The performer sits and watches as the participants paint her with the remains of the light (the residue of the burning candle). The crowd then disperses and the performer herself becomes the residue.
