In Search of Antidote

Performance with Video projection
Where is my home, Where is my Home land….
I breathe the air in smoke of concrete,
I see people in dust and blood
I hear the cry and feel the agony
I feel the touch of pain and search for healing…
Where is my Home
Where is my home land….
I stand in no man land I stand alone …I stand as refugee
Where is my home ……?

This performance work is very short 5 minutes performance as it
part of performance marathon it was presented in two places first
one at Katte ( A Creative community) and another one at Visthar
for Artists unite Karnataka. The performance is metaphoric act
where I deconstruct and construct the question idea about what
is ‘Home; and ‘Homeland’ The idea was bring this optical virtual
world where deconstruction in visual representation happen due
to optical illusion created during the performance

this performance was an attempt to sensitize my audience to this
human related existential conditions and concerns it will be act
where my body will be metaphorically represent Land symbolically
representing the build and broken bombarded home or any other
home demolished in socio –political unrest situation or will bring
in psychological mind set of refugee/ homeless this performance
will also narrate a psychological state and socio- psychological
spaces.
