Illiteracy causes the
unemployment, unemployment causes the poverty, Unemployment, the main cause of
making brain a devil’s house, to prevent oneself being a useless load, every day
around 1200 youths are migrating to foreign land from this small mountainous
country Nepal. As a heaven for workers from Nepal, India and Middle East holds
major share beside these working in Indian and British forces as “Gurkha
soldiers” has been holding over 60, 00000 Nepalese youth worldwide. The more of
the shocking fact is that only in Saudi Arabia monthly around 200 Nepali workers
loses their life. Due to the lack of benevolent leadership country has been in
the vicious circle of political conflict between then the Maoist and government
has caused the 15 years civil war. The saddest movement we have noticed that
government is taking remittance as a major income and overseas job as a major
product to export from the country, which has been a cause for the people to
risk their life in foreign land.I am dedicating this performance to those Nepali
workers who working in different foreign countries for small amount of money
& putting their life in risk. "Echo of darkness" represents their stories,
their works, & their pain. For this Performance I used workers' gloves (used
one), Hammer, Charcoal, 50 pieces of white cloth & 50 envelops with Nepali
workers name from different country's & visitors
name.
