A black and white image of an actor on stage. The actor is in spotlight and has wide eyes and open mouth, as if mid scream.

We were left with scars of shame when all we wanted to do was sparkle a little in the sunlight. But I am all cells and nerves and magic and energy and mine.

How can I own this body that you never let be fully mine?
This is the fight to reclaim ourselves; our energy, bodies, joy and power. This is the howl of joy and anger that demands to be heard.

An actor on stage, looking downwards with a smile on her face. The colours of the clothing and light are soft reds.
