Presence of low-lying smoke. Scenes of nudity. Dark transitions. The performance addresses experiences related to ableism, sexualised violence and transphobia.

In All of Me, we meet three artists – Living Smile Vidya, Meret Landolt and Nina Langensand – sharing a stage together for the first time. Through this collective creation, they carve out a space of poetic and political resistance where their stories, gestures and voices become vehicles for reflection, feeling and transformation. One always carries visible sanitary pads in her bag. Another cuts her sponges in half before using them. A third only wears clothes that were given to her. These might be the things said about them. Or perhaps: one must navigate complex bureaucracy just to step on stage. Another feels scrutinised the moment she leaves home. A third recalls emotions of fear and shame. Together, they explore identity, belonging and the many forms of exclusion experienced by marginalised individuals. What kind of body is deemed “acceptable” on stage? Who is allowed to tell their story, and how? All of Me is woven from speech, lived experience, humour and shared vulnerability. It illuminates the strength of those too often denied a space, offering an inclusive experience that invites us to see, and hear, differently.

  • The three actresses are standing on the stage, facing the audience. It is the moment of the bows, at the end of the show. The light is orange. Nina Langensand, on the left, is wrapped in red ropes. Meret Landolt, in the middle, is wearing green plastic tarps. Living Smile Vidya, on the right, is wrapped in a sheet with several 'INDIAN' words written on it.

  • One of the three actresses is naked, seen from behind. She is sitting in a setting made of white plastic tarps. There are contrasts of light. Her right arm is raised to grab the red rope wrapped around her neck.
