Abhishek Thapar: Soft Pressure (Working Title)
© Himashi Parmar
We enter a massage studio. Ritual, scent, and gentle hospitality promise a sense of well-being. On the massage table, familiar, professional and soothing touches carry us away…
Soft Pressure (Working Title) is a new work by the theater maker and performer Abhishek Thapar about working conditions in the wellness industry. Based on a research phase of three weeks in massage salons in Berlin and through interviews, Thapar investigates the infrastructure of invisible labor. Shaped by migration and colonial conditions these structures determine who serves and who relaxes. Soft Pressure (Working Title) ultimately brings the stories of wellness workers to life in an immersive installationand asks at what cost we achieve our relaxation.
Thapar develops research-based performance projects with people who take part with their daily life activities, profession or expertise.
Some time slots include a one-on-one encounter with a performer and may involve physical proximity or contact. For more information, contact or call +49 (0)30 278 900-35.
