Neha Choksi

The Sunset Inside Me I

3rd Beyond Pressure Festival, Myanmar
2 – 5 December 2010

Beyond Pressure is an independent art organization created to contribute towards expanding the boundaries of art in Myanmar. It is initiated and run by local artists who work in their communities to create projects that initiate discourse. It is also the largest performance art festival in the country. In 2010, they extended their public involvement by having performances in the Kan daw Gyi Garden.

In this tragic-comic performance Choksi embodies the sun, calling on its powers to illuminate and destroy, and draws out our own urges to slow and hasten its course at will.
