About The Event
Durga and Lakshmi, two artists: one a human, the other a sentient stereo player set out for a performance of fears- to rant her truth and perform the dare. Exploring the patriarchal idea of a ‘good girl’ and the pressure of conforming to these ideas, Durga asks herself what epitomizes ‘a woman’, finally landing on the idea of a ‘Garam Roti’. What starts as a personal reflection on the matter culminates into an exercise of communal listening to rants (recordings) of women from across India. The play moves through borders of fiction into the non-fiction realm with the tapes library.
We dare you to address the truths of Garam Roti. And we promise you one Garam Roti!
Project Garam Roti investigates womanhood, kitchen and beyond. The project situates itself at the intersection of a play and a sound installation.
