My search for the queerness of life began in 2015. It was Inspired by the work of Indian Scientist J.C.Bose and more contemporary discouses by Evolutionary biologist Lynn Margilus, Ecologist Suzan Simrad and Biologist Merlin Sheldrake. My attempt was to invert what all this while was considered as the background for a scene into the main story with diverse protagonists who had non human centric narratives. 

My puppet characters were animated, life sized with movable tendrils or branches, sometimes roots and mycelia. Each had a fixed perception of the anthropocene. The stories and presentations raised questions around rigid definitions of gender that come from artificial constructs of the human mind.

I have created several life sized puppet characters which I incoorporate into the scripts I write and perform. Often I interact with the characters on their own at

'places where one would least expect a performance'.

I also perform structured performances in the theatre, which are scripted by me. I compose my own music for these performances.

'Dark & Delicious' (2005)

Performed at The Nordic Black Theatre, Oslo. 

Performance 'Fisherman and his Soul' based on Oscar Wildes short story, at India International Centre.

'Dr. Hara' was created in 2015 as a mascot for the inauguration of the Office for Climate Cange at The Embassy of Switzerland in New Delhi. 

The character of Dr. Hara inspired three structured performances:

'Photosynthesis by Moonlight' (2016)

'I am a plant' (2020:Performed online during the Covid 19 Lockdown)

'Dark & Delicious'(2024)
