Declutter Me! a One-to-One Performance by Grace Kalaiselvi


Declutter Me! is a one-to-one performance session, presented with SeptFest 2022: uproot | rootless, hosted on the Substation’s WhatsApp account, where a single audience member gets to choose 1 out of 3 boxes, each containing an object (or objects) from the artist. Based on the items in the box, a personal experience will be shared, which will offer a better understanding of an Indian person, providing insights into their identity, culture and the myths that surround them. Every object of possession has a story behind it. How did we obtain it? What does it mean? Why do we still keep it? Some serve as a reminder of the past or path that we have travelled. While others just serve a purpose. Declutter Me! hopes to initiate and provoke a two-way discovery between the performer and audience.
