The Performative Bible of Human Rights is not a fixed doctrine but a living text, continually rewritten through bodies, voices, and encounters. It asserts that human rights are not merely principles enshrined in legal documents, but rather practices that must be enacted, questioned, and transformed within our shared spaces. In this sense, the performances do not end when their duration is over. They persist as fragments, echoes, and responsibilities, carried forward by participants and by future readers of these pages. Rather than offering a final statement, the performances pose an open demand: to continue rehearsing freedom, justice, and dignity in both our physical and mediated realities.
