No visible reaction will the audience get in and out, approaching Hercules, read the caption. Beside him, in addition to the small sign that says “I’m tired”, a few items: a few necessary for survival (water, bread, cigarettes, a blanket, a small radio that crackles); other related activities that seem to have moved away. Visitors to the Museum will also keep him, and three chairs will be deployed to accommodate those who want to stop and look. A panel with different images, including that of Hercules, will announce three replicate his performance here at the museum and then elsewhere. The public, through the images printed on the panel, will possess more data to get an idea of ​​what he is seeing.
