Hello everyone, my name is HBlynda Morais, I’m from Recife, Pernambuco, and I’m an actress, playwright, and cultural producer. I’m here to talk a little about what the solo piece HBLYNDA IN TRANSit will be. 
 
Being in transit is going, coming, passing through, flowing, a path, a crossroads. Being in transit is moving, walking, and this solo performance will seek to talk about that—about the paths my transition has led me through, the journeys I have taken. It is not static, it does not stand still—it is upheaval, it is movement, it is flow, it is time, it is passage. 
 
So, HBLYNDA is here to talk about life, about dreams, about achievements, carried by dance, carried by music. You will witness a solo performance blending multiple artistic languages so we can talk about trans lives—lives that matter deeply. Here, I don’t want to talk about death. Here, I don’t want to talk about statistics. I want to talk about victory, about the places we have reached and the places we will still reach. HBlynda is precisely this journey—because being in transit is being alive.
