Mio/Tuyo/Nuestro

Overview

mio/ tuyo/ nuestro (mine/ yours/ ours) is an immersive performance project from Carne Viva Dance Theatre that moves inside the history of the 8 stages of love through the lens of 6 Queer and/or Trans BIPOC. Travel through the love of care takers, through the honest spoken thoughts of children, the 16 year old self that did not understand how to be loved but knew they needed it, the shared secrets and love of friendships, and those who you share an intimate bond with — whether it be with yourself or others — and tell yourself you have always loved all the versions of your human love catalyst journey.
racing to the top of the stairs to see who goes down the slide the fastest, your teenage bedroom meeting its angst, your own nightclub where you felt liberated and encouraged to be your most authentic queer self, the back of your bestfriend’s jeep blasting Bad Bunny, the celebration of radical love in your grandparents backyard at your annual carne asada…
