“Every Day, alone in front of the other pensioners of Anorexia rescue center, deep in the most pitiless group of anorexic persons, a truly remarkable journey will take place.”

- That would be the Treatment to recover in Akan’s Tower, announced Syndra Raynaud, the “Right Hand Woman” of Akan.

- “Because for you, guys, anorexic winners, life is like that, harsh and inhospitable”, added inconspicuously, the shy Ragdoll.

Each of you will be a survivor, and will have to deal with eating-disorder, staying alive.

Every pensioner in rescue center, will abandon the deep sweet security of its bedroom and clamber onto the commune area to begin its long struggle against anorexia: a such desolate land, a region so bleak, so extreme, it support no other life.

- “The greatest fear you have, the fear to live, the fear to loose control, the fear to eat, the fear to breathe, you will beat it”.

Said Blythe Somat, the hemiplegic flower doll, who was in charge of anorexic patients suffering from Asperger Syndrom as well.

- “So you will play a game, all together”.

- The game inspired by “The Emperor’s Journey”.

(Four days after the rescue, a Santiago paper alleged that the survivors became cannibals to ward off starvation.
The group confirmed that they ate human flesh at a press conference two days later.)

You will have to accomplish tests of extreme endurance, during which you will have to rely on the united anorexic members of the group, their physical warmth, their spiritual presence, their embodied soul, their disembodied body.

You will share body heat to conserve energy and protect the “protégé” you will have to care about constantly.

You will realize you cannot hate the other anorexic persons, as you did before; because you were scared about their special regard and knowledge of anorexia secrets.

Only Love and solidarity will help to struggle for life.

“Child survivors dressed in clothes made from German uniforms”
(One of the youngest survivors of the Buchenwald concentration camp, shown in the center of the photograph above, was four-year-old Josef Schleifstein.The Communist prisoners, who were in charge of the day-to-day administration of the camp, made sure that the children were well cared for. Note the adult man in the back row wearing a beret to identify himself as a Communist.)

You won’t have food during the periods of survival in the course of which you will have to completely deny yourself and to think only of your “protégé”: the small infant who will be entrusted to each of you, from today, from now.

This Baby is you when you where a newborn, just before anorexia,  before lack of love and good care of your mother.

So you will be in charge of yourself, as a baby and in the same time, as an adult.

It will lead to you to a point of survival self-experiment.

At this point you will have to choose to live or to die.
