BLIND FOLD

It was Commward (Communication Award of Bangladesh) in 2016 where I was supposed to deliver a speech-at-the ceremony. My idea was to connect the audience, space and the context. Because for me it’s important that through performances I intend to enter into a new space of reality. It was against boredom. The concept was to go on stage tying myself down with a piece of rope being I am blind folded.

There begins my struggle to get rid of the bond, the intense movements to unchain myself was explicitly visible. My intention was to create an anxious environment for the particular audience there and giving them the space to redefine the usual aspect of an act.

The performance ‘Blind Fold’ was also self-reflexively paradoxical where the artist on stage cannot see the audience but the audience can see literary. Ironically, it was a metaphorical act suggesting that the artist being blind folded can envision what sometimes opened eyes without vision fail.
