Composition on Water

Theatre-maker Anamika Haksar’s work is socially and politically engaged and speaks to the injustices and inequalities of the
subcontinent. Composition on Water is an improvisational theatre and installation work that engages with memories of oppression.
Using texts by Dalit writers, including Namdeo Dhasal’s Water as the foundation for the improvisation, actors will experiment
with audience interaction during each of the performances during the first week of the Biennale, emphasising a speculative rather
than resolved outcome. Through the subject of water, the work questions the complicity, acquiescence and indifference shown
by various quarters of society against the marginalised. Here the set/installation is left within the exhibition space as a remnant and
reminder of the performance.
