Spinning-wheel spinner, the one who spins the thread of life and death weaving with it a pre-patterns - the structure of the world, is a powerful symbol which we encounter in almost every culture. This symbol is an embodiment of women's power of giving birth and creating, giving life and shaping it. How can we reach this spinning-wheel spinner's power? How to arouse it in order to restore our certainty of having influence on our own life and the world we live in?

Fun way of playing with identity. Masculinity and feminity are only internalized cultural patterns. By the use of which we can trace what the patriarchal culture attributes to men: sexism and huge egos. We are then able to question what seems inborn and natural - gender identification.
