A short durational walk in city streets with straw and grass in mouth and body wrapped in Kafan, the cloth to clothe the dead. \”ঘাসে মুখ দিয়ে চলা\” /\”ghashe mukh diye chawla\” literally means \”to walk with one\’s mouth in the grass\”.It is basically a sarcastic comment meaning that as if one knows nothing and moves around with one\’s head in the straw. The performance refers to that comment as it seems nowadays especially after this covid19 thing that we all are people with our headpieces in straw in relation to\”the authorities\”.so what remains is the living dead body
