'Me and My Image' Performnce by GODWIN CONSTANTINE & BANDU MANAMPERI
Colombo Dance Platform 2014
Saturday, 1st November, 7.00 pm
Bandu Manaperi’s and Godwin Constanine’s joint performance revolves around the issue of ‘identity’. During the last three decades Sri Lanka underwent a very turbulent and violent phase in its history. This, the two artists believe, is fundamentally connected to identity. Society continuously experiences evolving problems connected to forms of identity. This is the main factor, that has influenced the art practice of Bandu and Godwin in recent times. With “Me and my image” the artist duo explore the relations between the body, symbols and the construction of identity. How is identity “moduled” through text, religious practice or other habits? How an “identity model” obstructs the knowing of the real behind the model?
