It starts as a lesson in scenographic perspective and quietly becomes the story of the bodies Maiamar Abrodos has lived in, from a young trans woman under harsher Argentine laws to one of the country's best-known actresses. Songs, personal archives and humor carry the 50 minutes. If you want to see what La MaMa's new Queer New York Festival is about, start here.
What to expect
The Downstairs is a small black-box room beneath La MaMa's East 4th Street box office, with general admission seating. The piece mixes a classroom setup with testimony, song and archival material, and runs about 50 minutes.
