On the performance Assessment: The human brain coordinates blood pressure and body temperature, it processes pain and sensual input. But most of its activity is active in triggering one’s own actions and combining the consequences resulting therefrom into a meaningful whole. Assessment represents different aspects of this cognitive process, from recognition to decision and to action. The performance, first shown on 16–18 February 2023, deals with the authenticity of self-awareness when rational decisions are to be made or explained.
