Seattle actress Eva Moon brings her one-woman show, “The Mutant Diaries: Unzipping My Genes,” to a Portland audience for the first time. She calls the show “the culmination and extension of all my work to date.”
“I had played daughter, mother, lover, wife, woman,” says Eva in the artistic statement on her website. “Then I was unexpectedly given the role of fighter, battling through a full hysterectomy and double mastectomy to avoid near certain odds of cancer – all while my mother was dying of cancer herself. … Through my art, with music and laughter instead of lectures and preaching, I deliver an uplifting message that it is possible to change your future.”
Followed by Q &A with Eva and a genetics professional.
