YO OBSOLETE is a performance that touches on gender & disability identities. It is a chain of memory associations of severe childhood sexual and physical abuse, leading the mind on a journey for grief ritual and vulnerability. It is a playful installation, performance, collage-like gathering of obsolete objects, full of references to a queer and disabled imaginary world. In this performance, I become an archeologist of my own history.
