Confinement is about the endless struggle of the protagonist to break free from a confined and a restricted space. The film is about the experience of hope and despair. The news of the atrocities on women during the Gujarat riots triggered off the performance in the film. I have used the body as a site of contestation where fear, alienation, claustrophobia and a sense of helplessness is addressed. The tight spacing, minimum lighting, the colour and the repeated sound are created to intensify the experience further.
