"Come, come! I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another…"

Blurring the lines between reality and fiction, this fascinating film by trans writer, philosopher and activist Paul B. Preciado – a leading figure in the study of gender and body politics – is a playful, moving, metatextual documentary inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando: A Biography, in which the protagonist famously changes gender.

Casting a diverse cross-section of trans and non-binary individuals in the role of Orlando as they perform interpretations of scenes from the novel, weaving into Woolf’s narrative their own stories of identity and transition, Preciado explores Orlando’s relevance in the fight for global trans rights.
