Rusty X
Rusty X will be a 10-minute multimedia stage play telling the true life story of
intersex activist and local Houston musician and poet Mo Cortez. Told through a series of 4
vignettes using performance, live music, video, and sound effects, the play centers on
important and pivotal life moments with different family members dealing with themes of
mental health, incarceration, Child Protective Services, non-consensual genital surgeries on
intersex children, and family secrets.
