Shahi-Tukra
2024
INTRODUCTION
Inspired by countless maternal figures telling bedtime stories across generations, Shahi Tukra explores themes of tenderness, caregiving, sacrifice and wellbeing. Through simple and raw stories of the earth, this is an invitation to be imaginative, curious and empathetic about the planet.
Shahi Tukra is a delightful treat that reminds one to slow down, be present, be aware, immerse and engage playfully with the materiality of the world we live in. Through a one-to-one experience, the performance focuses on the value of direct human interaction and touch in an accelerating world. Playful objects, smells, tactile materials and human touch are paired with an audio narrative to open doors for a sensory adventure.
