In order to perform this ritual, they went to the street with lights and red roses in the direction of the party headquarters on Ferraz street. The memorial was set up at Parque del Oeste, the closest, most sheltered place it could be found. The installation is made up of 150 lighted crosses with their corresponding roses.
At the end of the night the performance ended, leaving no trace rather than the memory. Passersby, policemen and homeless could take any piece they wanted with them, some understanding the protest, others not.
