How do you know when the everyday life turns into a festival and a work into a festive work? Observations of women in the festive work lift you up above the everyday life with their existence and the gentleness spreads around in the body and the humor of shame is allowed. Despite that, the questions hang in the air: Is a woman allowed to speak? May she take some space? And how much then?
