This Body is a Miracle
premiered June 23, 2025 at The Slipper Room, NYC
This Body is a Miracle is a theatrical memoir of love, anticipatory grief, self discovery, and burlesque, centered on my mom Kathy’s final year. "I am going to die, and I don't want you to stop creating and performing," Kathy said, eternally the wise caretaker, knowing that creation and performance would provide both the framework for me to process the experience, and the greatest support system. Anchored by several aerial acts that were created and performed throughout that year, the show is a multidisciplinary collage bringing the audience behind the curtain, ultimately transcending the line between performance and reality.
Created and performed by Kyla
