BIRTHDAY GIRL TRANSFORMS IN WEREWOLF-PERFORMANCE, 10 MIN, 
TENT/WINTERWOLVEN/KERSGALLERY/RE:AMSTERDAM, ROTTERDAM/AMSTERDAM 2011
MATERIAL: FRIENDS, BALLOONS,STYROFOAM BALLS, PROJECTIONS, WRAPPED GIFTS

This work tells the story of a girl getting a gigantic gift for her birthday, a human sized teddy wolf. She unwraps her colourful gift while enjoying Stevie Wonders's song "happy birthday". So overly excited by her amazing gift the friends start to dance outrageously. Unfortunateley the victory dance starts tearing her animal apart, leaving the girl in a rain of styrofoam balls. He is broken, dead.
Trying to bring him back to life, she puts on his skin. She faces up to the full moon and howles and grunts. She has turned into a werewolf! Torn by feelings of longing for human flesh and the love for her friends, she decides to rip her own heart out and eat it.
