in essence
in essence is a ritual performance exploring trans embodiment and spiritual exile, drawing on histories of how trans/queer people have been demonized rather than recognized as healers. It reimagines ascension as both reclamation and conjuring—asking what becomes possible when we return to ourselves as sacred. The work travels through a series of vignettes inspired by occult symbolism, including tarot archetypes and planetary significations in astrology, using these tools as frameworks for care, co-regulation, and spiritual precision. Through movement, spoken word, original score, and live projection art, in essence builds an immersive ceremonial environment where the unseen becomes visible. The performance functions like an offering: a space where trans communities can witness ourselves as divine, resilient, and visionary—and where presence itself becomes the ritual.
