The whole process of making The Painter's Studio in the Shadow World was a ritual, open for the audience. Starting on the opening of the show She in Four Acts, and duplicating the curtain paintings of the four acts in the show, until the Epilogue, when the paintings where cut out on stage at The Drottningholm Palace Theater, in a closing ritual to the show. 

Installation after the Epilogue. The curtain paintings, with the cut through holes, were re-installed in the The Painter's Studio in the Shadow World.
