The performance A Magician from 'The Longest March’ is based on the story of a magician who has multiple characters and is trying to understand the layers of various marches that have happened across time and place. This performance is part of programming for the exhibition Very Small Feeling.

Murari Jha is a visual and performing arts practitioner based in Delhi, India. Working primarily with the performance arts, Jha activates the spatial mechanics of a stage and creates performative sculptures and creatures. His transmedia practice works with the concept of the body and the self, studying how they exist as both subject and object. Thinking of personal resistance within the purview of 'micro socialism' and 'micro power', his work tries to understand the correlation between personal and collective struggle.
