This week was Trans Awareness Week and Trans Remembrance Day (20 NOV). In honor of Trans people everywhere, both living and remembered, here’s a little taste of the joy of Fancy Cat. The chorus of “Our Story is Joy” was shared with audiences in Toronto during Porch View Dances by members of TRANScendARTS.

ZAZA: Well, Fancy, who do you think you’ll be today?

FANCY: (singing “Our Story is Joy”)
Whether I’m on a stage
Or soaring through space
Or digging for T-Rex in the ground
I’ll be just right
And I’ll be enough
And I will see light all around

And I’ll make the world such a beautiful place
I’ll make a mark no one can erase
Whoever I am, Whoever I’ll be
My story is joy and I will be free

The clothes that I wear
And the path that I choose
Are things that are all up to me
I will see color
And I will see peace
And I will see people like me

And we’ll make the world such a beautiful place
We’ll make a mark no one can erase
Whoever we are, whoever we’ll be
Our story is joy and we will be free

Everyone dances. End of Play.
