Edwin Ramirez, comedic artist and performer based in Zurich, invites us in an autobiographical journey, between sensual experiences and wry humor, far, far away from the norms set by the cis straight & valid society.
Their stand up Queer Crip Becoming has started… Edwin Ramirez tells us about their first acid trip, followed by the tale of their accident and the healing journey that came along, in and out of the hospital.
A series of experiences that brought to Edwin the will to be more faithful to themselves, to come out publicly and to set themselves on their own path, in mutation.
