Imagining Sarmad
Oreet’s “Imagining Sarmad” was a two show performance based on the stories of Sarmad the Saint
and his lover, a young Hindu man called Habichand. The performance was an adaptation of the story
told in eight letters written by Sarmad to his imaginary sister. In the performance the artist lay in the
middle of the space on a box and “embody” the story through drawing, clothes and other props, whilst
eight people from the audience are sat around me and read the eight letters.
