Survival and Existence in One square

Foot

Leonard Houz, Beyond Ritual curated by Dorothea seror
Date -11 October 2017

This performance is about bringing in conflict of

existence the striving of every living being to survive
and also bringing in psychological tensions to survive.
This performance was specifically design to fit this
small window which is world smallest performance
space. It was quite a challenge to work in this Space
which was not a white cube but a small opening not
even your full body fits in it at length. The costume
materials and gestures were all directed to bring an
atmosphere where one struggles to survive and exist.

The sound was specifically modulated to create an
ambience and texture to performance along with the
projection on the background. All well-choreographed
to enhance and stimulate the audience and create a
sacred space to suggest them to question about
various ecological issues and how they connect to
other living beings like plant animals etc.
