Rohan emerged as a performing body with a blank face, by pasting a placard on his stomach that reads “wrap me” and walked towards the people around. The viewers around were puzzled and hesitated to interact or wrap Rohan with the cello tape that he was offering. Some participant-spectators started the process of wrapping that triggered the questions that why such an act is taking place. Why this man is asking people to wrap him? Is it some sort of a protest? Or is it any theatrical act? And there were some comments made to make fun of the performance, though, the comments were not made loudly. A police man who was on duty of policing and controlling the activities of the space, shared the same mood of being puzzled and tried hard to maintain his authority. But his failure was visible at the same time in his demeanor.
The participant-spectators, who are part of the festival, encouraged some of the viewers to extend themselves and participate in the act of wrapping Rohan’s body. But the body had introduced a tension that oscillated it between random spatial points with suspended agency.
