MAPPING PARADIGM SHIFT

Hysteria Launch Event Paris 2016

Performance done as part of Hysteria launch performance

event at Le Stendhal, 5 rue Erard, 75012 Paris 4th July 2015.
This performance is about mapping oscillating thought process
of mind. Thought process those are in flux, and the dichotomy
of role of Body and mind of women. Every country (society)
has drawn a border line for role of women in the Society. Some
have given liberty but some have less liberty but the role is
always defined within a frame. Be it from social liberty to very
existence as an important and integral part of the constant
developing society. There is a constant debate on where to
draw line of control what women can do or deserve; each
country has its own set of rules, and what is permitted being

women.
As I see question of women’s position is always in flux, that
keep oscillating between how and what on women should be
doing and behave in the society. Through this performance I
was making an attempt to map the shifts like thoughts, belief,
theories and rights. The performance was perceived on both
levels personal and observers. The oscillation from purity to
impurity, mind and body, spiritual and material, right and
wrong, the performance will work on these trajectories,

confronting the realities that I experienced and also what
audience can recollect at that moment. This performance
completed with audience intervention.
