On the evening of November 26, 2023, Evan Hannah is poised to unveil an extraordinary performance titled “My Body is Holy: words, songs, and hymns for the inner child.” Teaming up with Imagine, a skilled poet from Norfolk, VA, and collaborating with musicians from Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains, VA, this presentation promises an enthralling fusion of fresh poetry and musical arrangements. The composition delves into the intricate layers of sacred music seamlessly interwoven with Evan’s original material. Through the lens of his formative years, marked by music, trauma, healing, and spirituality, Evan endeavors to craft a narrative that is both profound and emotionally charged.
In curating this performance, Evan Hannah envisions creating a platform for self-discovery and healing, with a particular emphasis on providing solace to the queer and trans community. The piece serves as a poignant expedition into the inner sanctums of individuals, encouraging introspection on personal experiences and the embracing of diverse identities. Utilizing the expressive medium of art, Evan aims to establish a safe and nurturing space where individuals can embark on a journey of self-reflection and revel in the fullness of their beings.
As the curtains ascend on “My Body is Holy,” attendees can anticipate a transformative encounter that transcends conventional artistic boundaries. This distinctive collaboration not only highlights Evan’s artistic prowess but also stands as a symbol of inclusivity and understanding. The seamless integration of words, songs, and hymns within the performance becomes a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a celebration of the therapeutic potential inherent in artistic expression.
