an ample white space, with all entrances covered by white cloth so as to ensure that all viewers, once having entered the space are presented with a consistent white background;
the floor is sky blue;
in the center of the space there is a white podium, upon which sits a computer (also white); this computer is used to play and control a series of musical compositions written for rather slow, softly-paced quadrilles; (may possibly be substituted by minuets or waltzes)
actors consist of 8 subjects, divided into 4 couples; they are nude, though this fact is somewhat obfuscated by their being entirely covered in white body/face paint from head to toe;
the subjects dance (quadrilles, minuets, or waltzes) to the series of musical compositions, occasionally pausing and sitting in white chairs, stationed on the edges of the space; next to the chairs are small white tables, upon which sits one glass for each of the subjects, and large pitchers filled with fresh orange juice; the subjects rest and drink, and talk, then recommence to dance;
all of the subjects are attached to an IV drip, of whole blood, which is carried on the typical pole stand on casters, which they must manage as they dance;
[artist's note: the only question is the hair color of each subject, that is, whether it's also white, or remains natural]
