This performance was a part of Galleries’ Night 2018. The concept was mainly about how Thai social structure shapes its people. The setting included four people laying in four old bathtubs filled slightly with water. The task for the people in the tubs was doing shoulders stands and holding their breath under the water whenever an officer-dressed person came into the room. The officer was holding a watering can and was also wearing heavy combat boots. If the officer saw anyone sit up in a rest position, she would go and push them back to the shoulders stand position and poured more water into the tubs. This piece represented the authoritarianism that we live in with military dictator for several years since the coup in 2014.
