Can't walk by itself!
Anil G Nair 21-04-2019On April 21, 2019, Hotel Shilpa Regency in Kottarakkara hosted a captivating event titled “Can't Walk by Itself!” presented by the renowned poet and performer Anil G. Nair. This unique performance art piece blended poetry, symbolism, and theatrical elements to explore themes of personal struggle, societal constraints, and the enduring human spirit.
The performance began with a striking visual: Anil G. Nair entered the stage with two swings attached to his hands, symbolizing the burdens and dualities individuals often carry. This imagery set the tone for an introspective journey, inviting the audience to reflect on their own experiences of balance, tension, and movement through life‘s challenges.
Throughout the performance, Nair’s evocative poetry delved into the metaphor of fire—representing both destruction and transformation. Lines such as “Inside the revolutionary fire and fire!!” resonated with the audience, highlighting the inner turmoil and passion that drive personal and collective change. The interplay of light and shadow on stage further accentuated the themes, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.
Hotel Shilpa Regency‘s commitment to promoting cultural and artistic endeavors was evident in their support of this event. The hotel’s auditorium provided an intimate setting that allowed for a deep connection between the performer and the audience. Attendees left the performance with a renewed appreciation for the power of art to challenge perceptions and inspire introspection.
