The performance invites the audience into a raw and vulnerable state depicting personal struggles like mistrust, frustration, subordination, and newfound freedom. It explores the entirety of emotions towards doctors, resulting from misdiagnosis, medical errors and disrespectful behavior, influenced by both individual and cultural factors.
In a country with a poorly functioning healthcare system and limited infrastructure, accurate diagnosis relies on proximity and privileged connections, leading to suspicion and constant verification. The performance reveals abusive medical experimentation without consent or clear explanation, exploring traces of pain and learned behavioral patterns.
The work portrays physical experiences of humiliation, pain and mistrust as corporeal memories, showcasing the doctors exercise of power and manipulation through the human body. Furthermore, the piece delves into brutal memories such as organ removal or near-loss, illustrating resilience and emotional healing from the trauma.
