How I Became a Mermaid 

How I Became a Mermaid is a multimedia performance by Amanda Alcántara exploring suicide, death and rebirth, mental health issues, nationalism and belonging. 

How I Became a Mermaid is a story. A fever dream. A collage. A zine. A murder scene. A metamorphosis. A resurrection. An album. A drowning. A breath of fresh air. A catharsis. A gulp of salt water. A critique of la patria. A love letter to la madre tierra. A cry. Un desahogo. A response. A freedom manifesto. An answer. A reaction. A meditation.

An I-said-what-I-said.

What did I say? This. This is what I said. This is who I am. Forever becoming. 

The performance will begin on Instagram (@yosoy_amanda) on April 5, and will continue on June 1 with the release of a book.
