Week Inside a Rock – level 2

Week Inside a Rock

07-07-2021 15:00

Abraham Poincheval is a French artist who specialises in endurance performances. For example, he spent 13 days inside a hollow bear.

For his latest performance, he spent a week inside a rock. There was a space for somebody in the rock, and there were holes for air. Poincheval drank water, ate soup and ate dried meat. He said that the most complicated thing was not going crazy.

Difficult words: endurance (the ability to endure/survive something difficult), performance (the actions of an artist), hollow (with space inside).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
