Bixa Travesty

Director Kiko Goifman, Claudia Priscilla

Bixa Travesty is a powerful portrait of Brazilian transgender performer, singer, and activist Linn da Quebrada. With her unforgettable performances and exuberant costumes, she fights against transphobia, homophobia, and the restrictive macho culture in Brazil. Alongside Jup do Bairro, she uses her body and art as a weapon against social inequality. This documentary captures not only the explosive energy on stage but also a raw, vulnerable side of Linn, featuring intimate archive footage that documents her personal battle with cancer.
