“What do you do when your mind is stuck but your body is growing up?”

“PURP.S.” is a multidisciplinary live performance by the musician, writer and performer Calya J. She narrates the evolution from being a scared little girl into a young woman. The story contains five reflection points, which leads her to understanding of who she is and the breaking away of a version of herself that she used to identify with.
The title “PURP.S.” is inspired by the combination of the word “purpose" and “purple", the color which refers to both her direction in life and the mystery of her creative mind.
For Radiant Nights #11, she presents for the first time Purp.S. A concert performance where she combines visuals, word and new sounds to create a sacred moment of togetherness, reflection and healing. Accompanied by her band and backing vocals, she takes charge of this sacred moment and experiences with the audience the many emotions from sunrise to sunset, while she celebrates the relationship between the moon and the sun.
