About the performance

The confrontational and poetic performance #uncut tells the story of Vivian, a trans woman, or just… a woman. Who gets to decide? She looks back on a transition that was not only brave but also raises new questions. After a long process of psychological evaluation and medical procedures, she is now who she wanted to be. Or is she? The question “You must be happy now, right?” is one she hears all too often, but is it true? What is she to do with her past and the old photographs? Who was she then, and who is she now?

Three Voices, One Soul

The performance follows the inner struggle of the adult Vivian, who tries to ignore her past and transition. Her personality is split into three conflicting alter egos: the dreaming child who wants to keep her soprano voice, the rebellious teenager struggling with her voice breaking, and her adult self. As the choir acts as her inner demons, asking probing questions, Vivian is confronted with the heartbreaking loss of her voice and the memories she tried to forget.
