In search of Antidote

Kala Utsava festival in Basavanagudi
Invited by kala Mandira Art college for their annual
Festival 2014
In Search of antidote is performance is ritualistic act
through by body action to heal body and mind of myself
and my audience. In this performance my main concern

is to bring into notice various social issues which is
against humanity and which provokes us for action
against injustices happening. We are social human being
and we confront number of social issues on everyday
basis from corruption, injustice to innocent to crimes
against women and communal violence’s. It looks like
that we are constantly consuming these
pressure/tension of this society to fight with emotional
and mental level and we keep on absorbing so called
this negativities like sponge which accumulates in our
system like carbon on earth and if we don’t burn out
this into negative energy it will totally take us to depth

of its darkness. My performance will be an attempt to
take out, ejecting all the negativities of our society in
the form of body actions. Convert this Negative
emotion/ forces in positive through ritualistic act bring a
cathartic effect on body and mind and cleanse purify
out body mind and our space and hope for future.
