Godsaying denotes the magical process of telling fortunes, blessing and asking God to reveal what the subject is asking for. It is a process of transformation. The mediatresses of such revelation are called Goddesses.
In this performance without words, which is neither an imitation nor a reconstruction of any traceable godsaying, but a specific ritual created collectively, Heidi Šinková and Katarína Zagorski play the parts of Godesses under the direction of Jaro Viňarský.
