Snigdha Prabhakar premieres her latest Solo work :
Relax into your being

Followed by two works in progress :
Deham – Raam Kumar
Sujood – Akhil Jamkhandi

|| Relax Into Your Being :
Have I always been the same or have I evolved, can I question my experiences, experiences that
have catalysed the change that led to the present me. Where I currently am as an emotional
being. The performance of the piece is an expression of me, surrender to my being, as is, as I
am. I intend the journey of this process to be a celebration of my experiences, harsh or joyful,
just as they were, with the hope they find home in the shared evoked memories of the viewers.
It finds home in conversation of our relatable past, it heals us through conversation. The crux of
my process lies in recreating the bodily reaction to these experiences.

Deham by Raam Kuar

Deham is a physical theatre experimentation that works with the idea of accentuating the minor triggers that influences our physicality to identify the depth of how we feel externally and internally.
Though we all are same with our physical presence, our way of understanding experiences are not even vaguely similar.

Here we attempt to explore our gross body and its relationship with the surrounding space and the space within itself and use this element to understand one’s being ,one’s identity and parallel identities coexisting with in the self.
Our senses are the most important aspects with which our body and our self perceive and respond to our surroundings. Thus through the process we try to explore these elements and how they trigger different kinds of emotion in us, or the mental state they take us to.
Deham would also like to show how different contradicting elements coexist in us. These elements are both physical and psychological.

As a whole this piece helps us to portray our innate experiences.
