“Truly empowering. It’s exciting, boundary-pushing art at its finest.”

**** – The Guardian

2023 Tribeca Film Festival “New Voices” Special Jury Nomination Award. Nominated for the 2024 Immersive Competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

This is an immersive story about how an ordinary 21st century girl, Maya, transforms into a unique female superhero whose powers come from her menstruation.

Starring Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton), the production was created by renowned artist and activist Poulomi Basu and co-directed by CJ Clarke.

With the onset of her first period, Maya’s world is turned upside down as she confronts the restrictive traditions of her conservative family and the hidden world of shame, stigma and taboo that exists in contemporary London.

She must overcome her own shame and fear to find her inner strength and true superpowers.

The work was inspired by Poulomi Basu’s law-changing art project Blood Speaks, which addresses menstrual exile and violence against women in South Asia.

Players must find the magic within themselves and discover the strength that emerges from trauma, a strength based on self-love and unity.

The work combines reality and magic to trace possible paths to resilience and justice.

Her name Maya means magic and illusion in Sanskrit.

Produced by Just Another Production Company and Floréal in association with French Television – Francetv Storylab, in conjunction with the Meta VR for Good programme.
