About the performance

I was born as a girl, but I know for sure it was a mistake.

Transgender alienation within one’s body, loneliness in society due to being different, the longing for happiness and freedom! Awarded the prestigious Best of Contemporary Dance prize by the Washington Post in the USA and the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
