TRAPEZE

A Shamik Ghosh Film

Based on A Short Story by Arindam Basu

The politics of our time is the politics of violence. Our entire discourse centers on a single agenda – violence and manufacturing more violence as a means of counter violence. This all pervasive numbing violence becomes the dominant leitmotif of our times.

Trapeze, a 13 minute short is a farce revolving around violence, where the specter of all pervasive violence percolates to our daily realm altering the contours of our reality, space and time to create a hyper reality of violence. But violence is devoid of logic. Trapeze, as such, endeavors to  counter violence with illogic.
