1. Alma of furniture
Alma is an example of site-specific promenade theatre (or more precisely a "polydrama") created by Israeli writer Joshua Sobol based on the life of Alma Mahler-Werfel. It opened in 1996, under the direction of Austrian Paulus Manker, at a former Jugendstil sanatorium building designed by architect Josef Hoffmann located in Purkersdorf near Vienna; and subsequently toured to locations in Venice, Lisbon, Los Angeles, Petronell, Berlin, Semmering, Jerusalem, and Prague.
Protagonist Alma Mahler-Werfel was intimately connected to an astonishing list of the famous creative spirits of the 20th century. Not only was she married sequentially to composer Gustav Mahler, architect Walter Gropius, and poet Franz Werfel (The Song of Bernadette), but she had also fervent and sometimes notorious love affairs with the painters Oskar Kokoschka, Gustav Klimt, and several others. The performance is not presented as a conventional theatre piece, but instead takes place throughout an entire building in simultaneous scenes highlighting the events and defining relationships of Alma's tumultuous life, with each playing area fully equipped with appropriate furniture and props.
Members of the audience can therefore choose to follow certain events, outcomes, and even individual characters from scene to scene, thus experiencing a uniquely personal version of Alma's life story. When Gustav Mahler dies halfway through the piece, his funeral can be followed interactively with his music; and at the interval, the entire audience comes together at a buffet dinner featuring Austrian cuisine during which they can compare notes about what they have each experienced, and develop a fuller perspective of the biographical events. The production was also adapted as a three-part film.

Life of furniture
Joachim Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Pln was born in Magdeburg on 9 May 1668. He was a scion of an insignificant branch of the Pln family, a collateral line of Schleswig-Holstein-Nordborg, with its seat at Nordborg Castle on the island of Alsen, itself formed from a division of the inheritance of Pln's first duke, Joachim Ernest in 1671. He was the eldest son of Augustus, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Pln-Norburg (1635-1699) and his wife, Elisabeth Charlotte of Anhalt-Harzgerode (1647-1723).
When the incumbent Duke of Pln, John Adolphus, died in 1704, a few days after his son, Adolphus Augustus, was killed in a riding accident, the male Pln line could be continued only through Leopold Augustus, grandson of John Adolphus and son of Adolphus Augustus. Leopold Augustus died as a child of four in 1706, and the underlying entitlement to the inheritance of Pln passed as a result to Joachim Frederick. Joachim Frederick himself had no male heir when he died in Pln on 25 January 1722, deeply in debt.
Pln Castle, the ancestral residence of the dukes of Pln, lay empty for seven years and some of its furniture was sold off; the Danish royal house administered the duchy during this period. Seven years after the death of Duke Joachim Frederick, Frederick Charles, the son of the morganatic marriage of the late duke's brother, Christian Charles, was named the fourth Duke of Pln. He would prove to be the last.

5. Properties of the complex of g&c furniture carrigtwohill
The animal industrial complex breeds animals in the billions in order to make products and services for human consumption. All these animals are considered legal property of the animal industrial complex.
The animal industrial complex is said to have transformed the already confused relationship between human and non-human animals, significantly increasing the consumption and threatening human survival. The pervasive nature of the animal industrial complex is such that it evades attention. Philosophers, such as Peter Singer, Richard D.
Ryder, and Melanie Joy, argue that speciesism plays a role in the practice of animal industrial complex, including the practice of factory farming, the use of animals for entertainment such as in bullfighting and rodeos, the use of fur and skin of animals, and experimentation on animals. Even the term speciesism first appeared during a protest against animal experimentation in 1970. In particular, the form of speciesism that underpins using animals for food and killing them for meat is known as carnism.
Joy compares carnism to patriarchy, arguing that both are dominant normative ideologies that go unrecognized because of their ubiquity: We don't see meat eating as we do vegetarianism as a choice, based on a set of assumptions about animals, our world, and ourselves. Rather, we see it as a given, the "natural" thing to do, the way things have always been and the way things will always be. We eat animals without thinking about what we are doing and why, because the belief system that underlies this behavior is invisible.
This invisible belief system is what I call carnism.
