Elephant Forbidden is a spectacle that approaches the gaze as a pathway, entrance door, and exit of significant. The way we perceive “reality” results from the debate that we establish with it: our gaze is composed of reality, the same way that reality is composed of our gaze – meaning construction transits in a two-way road. Gaze, as subjective apprehension of the world is herein regarded as an enhancer element of the individual before him/herself.
Forbidding elephants means restricting the access, means preventing the animal from free transit that is a means of transportation in India, but it would cause a great damage in other places. For this work, forbidden elephants means prohibiting the gaze that emphasizes the limits, the impediments; the ones that doubt the individual capacity of facing the obstacles. Forbidden elephants, in this spectacle, means betting on the individual’s gaze of him/herself, and of the world where he/she lives, as a meaningful and establisher element of reality.
