Parade to the times of

yore

("Ey amaar Kolkata,ey tomaar
Kolkata" )
Collage Street, Kolkata, India 2015
In this Performance I basically wanted to

make connection to historical aspect of
Kolkata. The city Kolkata is one of oldest city
ruled by British East India Company the
buildings are as old as 150 to 200 hundred
years old every stone of city hold embedded
history within it .In this performance I viewed
the city through an archeological perspective
and I performed as archeologist who want to
collect every evidence of Historical Kolkata

and in process also becoming like socialist
who is bringing the essence of city in present
times who also stand for protest and
revolution every time. This performance was
collaborated with common audience who
also had their part of intervention when they
lend their voice for performance shouting the
words …
("Ey amaar Kolkata,ey tomaar Kolkata…)
