D E NISA ALTHOUGH DENISA’S APPEARANCE IS THAT OF A PETITE YOUNG LADY, AFTER SPEAKING WITH HER FOR A WHILE YOU REALISE THAT SHE CAN HANDLE PAIN MUCH BETTER THAN ANY MAN. SHE REGULARLY PERFORMS AT PUBLIC EVENTS, WHERE SHE SUBMITS ON STAGE TO VARIOUS PROCEDURES THAT WOULD SEEM UTTERLY EXTREME TO A REGULAR PERSON. Denisa’s body is covered in a great number of scars. These are caused by all kinds of penetrations of the skin, intentional branding and cutting. Her speciality, however, is being suspended from hooks. For this discipline, special steel wires are inserted through the skin at various points on the body and the person is gradually hoisted up into the air. There the person hangs for some time. Most suspensions are in the order of minutes. Although having her skin pierced hurts Denisa as much as any other person, she shows absolutely no sign of this at all during the show. She likes the feeling of overcoming the pain and is able to deadpan. She likes being part of something she finds visually appealing. During the suspension, her body produces a great amount of adrenalin and serotonin. That is why she feels charged with positive energy for a long time after each performance.
