'Heroic ode' / videodocumentation

Explanation: <<Hot heart, cold mind, and clean hands>>

Part 1

The action goes through in an open field. The participant beforehand prepares the organs: the brain and heart. The fresh organ is boiled and placed on a plate, such that it is still steaming. The brain is put for some time into a freezing apparatus, and is then put on a plate, such that it is still partially covered with frost.

In the meantime, the two steppe animals are skinned, then are put on by the participant onto his arms, such that the tails hang from the elbows.

Part 2

The organs prepared beforehand, are placed to the left and right of the participant. In the formed center, the participant (covered with bile beforehand) performs the ritual dance of the (eagle) winning fighter. The participant is wearing a loincloth, and the animal skins on both arms.
