A theatrical performance on how pain turns to medicine through Love. On International Women’s Day (March 8 2025), which is my 50th birthday, I will perform a one-woman-show called Making Love to Fear — also the title of the book I’m writing. It’s a three-act show with ‘speak-sing’ (speaking with song woven in), projected imagery, theatrical dance and community engagement — inviting us to remember who we are — { Love }. The show features three stories from my own rigorous journey, exhibiting the power of Love in greeting severe pain and healing disease. It is an emotive invitation for humanity to face fear through Love’s eyes — preventing and healing pain, addiction, depression, victimhood & all forms of dis-ease — illuminating the beauty, joy, vitality and freedom that are our birthright. See you there! Jessica Rios, Writer + Coach + Performer
