how do we move? together but separately
a mini documentary by Caroline Chin
In the winter of 2022, Chowk Productions met with the Santhal performers from Birbhum Blossom Theatre on an exchange, in the hopes of re-staging a work, Yahi previously produced by Chowk. In the course of this unique intercultural exchange, both parties were confronted with their differences in language culture, and performative habits. This mini documentary asks what it truly means to be different, and how, if possible, do we transcend difference towards finding our common humanity within the process of art making when culture, kindness, and play is prioritised above art itself.
This is an after thought, a love letter to the people we had the pleasure of meeting and connecting with over a short period, and the unexpected friendships that blossomed through this exchange.
