The basic idea oft he project is: Embarrassment is important. If you’re not willing to humiliate yourself and make mistakes, you won’t make progress and rest in your safe zone. For the Embarrassment Show Kessels requests the students in their second academic year to explore their limits, to embarrasse themselves, to checkout their possibilities and to tell a personal and risky story.
