Walk Back to Look is a gentle provocation to passer-bys to wait and stare at mundane things, taking a moment to breathe before jumping on a bus or haggling with a flower-seller. Maybe we will stop to hear the spunky fisherwomen in the market, or a vendor incessantly talking of a faraway home. Everyday stories of people who inhabit these spaces maybe be revealed when we walk back.
The performance centres around stillness, walking and listening. Stillness, when the site is frenzied and hurried. And a lively playfulness during a lull. The performers will infuse fresh intensity by creating a contrasting tempo with their bodies. Simultaneously these bodies will reveal fragile dreams and imaginations that go unspoken in crowded, public spaces. A performance with minimal dialogue, the only words might be the hand written notes and placards. These illustrated notes/placards carry playful, spirited messages to engage with the large & fleeting audience- the common man walking on the street, or the commuters at a bus stop or shoppers at the market.
