TRANSformative Stories - Louisville

Motus Theater & the Parent Engagement Network (PEN) present TRANSformative Stories, featuring transgender and non-binary leaders performing artfully crafted personal stories about their hopes, dreams, and experiences of negotiating oppression and liberation with live musical accompaniment. Join us to celebrate the humanity, joy, and gifts of gender-diverse leaders who are on the frontlines of dehumanizing rhetoric and policies. Monologists include Raye Watson (they/them) and Rev. Nicole García (she/her). Featuring music from acclaimed violinist Anthony Salvo (he/him). This performance is sponsored by the Louisville Cultural Council.

Rev. Nicole Garcia’s (she/her) TRANSformative Stories monologue -  “A Rose is a Rose”: The eldest son of a Roman Catholic Latino family realizes she has always been the eldest daughter, and that God created her to be a trans woman.

“Gender Play & Possibility”

Raye Watson’s (them/their) TRANSformative Stories monologue - “Gender Play & Possibility”: An experience of negotiating limiting and pathologizing narratives to access gender-affirming care. But on the other side of transition, their new freedom to expand into their true version of being nonbinary - an experience, not of neutrality, but multiplicity.
