'Nerves' is a performance art piece, rooted in the expressions of the voiceless peoples from Manipur, a state nestled in the Northeast corner of India. The lives that have been exhausted from constantly questioning their world and their own existences in a conflict zone, by the unanswered questions, is what we are trying to express through the medium of our performance. These frustrations are embodied in the piece, whereby, we as performers try to explore a new medium to express our emotions, our guilt, our helplessness and our vulnerability. The silent torture that each of us go through, we have tried to appropriate that into our performance. Although, the roots of this piece are grounded in Manipur and the Northeast of India, the struggle is universal. The struggle, and the search for peace.
