AI summary · From the event listing

"What does it mean to birth a body free of shame?" Experience the work daily at the Multicultural Art Center in Cambridge, MA. Godbody: a ritual opera, by Diovanna Obafunmilayo Frazier GODBODY asks the central question, "What does it mean to birth a body free of shame?" With this as its foundation, the series engages the body as a site of emotional processing and vessel for the divinity of self. The rich symbolism and philosophy of the AfroCuban religion, La Regla de Ocha Lukumí, become the spiritual technology with which Diovanna Obafunmilayo engages herself. Existing joyously, and in the process, conjuring a new sense of personhood, is the imperative. The series was made in the development process of the evening-length performance, GODBODY, a ritual opera, with the support of the Center for Performance Research and The Theater Offensive.
