Born With an Extra Rib: Premiere & Installation, The Kitchen NYC, March 17 2022

Born With an Extra Rib’ is an operatic biomythography for the diasporic and dysphoric who long to find a body and a place to call home. An intimate spiral on an epic scale, this cinematic performance-ritual is an invitation into a portal, where the extra rib, that stefa was born with, becomes the a key for liberation.

Featuring STEFA*, GypjaQ Kai, Ita Segev, Cielo Felix Hernandez, Jen Anaya, Miles Francis, Nick Joz, José Benjamin Escobar
