All my bodies speaks of transformation – physical, emotional, and spiritual – but also of the collective memory present in every bond: her grandmother Irma, who introduced her to art; her mother a tireless companion throughout her transition; the beloved friends lost to HIV in the 1990s; and the teachers, spiritual figures and presences who accompanied her through each rebirth.
With humor, sensitivity, songs, personal archives and a powerful stage presence, Maiamar unfolds a story that moves and challenges, that teachers without solemnity and touches without artifice. In this work, pedagogy blends with testimony, the stage merges with life, and art becomes a form of resistance.
All my bodies is a poetic manifesto about the right to be, to rebuild oneself, to inhabit the body one longs for, and to be shaped by those who walk with us. It is a necessary, luminous, and profoundly contemporary work.
