The work is based on a performance held the 29th of march 2013 at the museum for contemporary art (SMAK) in Ghent. On a rotating, circular stage, counting three floors, thirty heavy-metal rockers are laying asleep between their amplifiers, guitars and percussion instruments. They are all approximately sixty years, have fat bellies, long grey hair or Mohawk haircuts and many tattoos, rings and other rock star attributes. In spite of the colorful spotlights, the smoke and the glittering attributes,they all look bored of their own show and it is only with a huge effort that they are able to play a note on a guitar, to hit a drums, or to cite an excerpt from a famous rock song.
