Early 2009, Jan Knops, artistic director of Initia vzw (an organisation which develops and carries out projects on contemporary visual arts and practical philosophy) put the finishing touches to a project about poverty in Antwerp, Belgium. He invited Wim Cuyvers (W.C.) to participate. On 20 June 2010 four men and one woman and three dogs, arrived from Antwerp in Le Montavoix, the refuge of W.C. without running water or electricity. They spent one week there together with W.C. to 'act' in a 'reality show', without any recording devices. Using the sentences spoken by the guests, which had been unintentionally recorded in his mind, W.C. created a story that took on the form of a play.
