At IMMORTAL, Eva Mueller didn’t offer one self — she offered six. Six characters, six emotional frequencies, six ways of refusing the flattening of queer identity.

In her interview, she introduces them like a cast of inner revolutionaries.

Vani Dada, eternally vain and unbothered by time.

Paloma Escura, the freedom fighter who eats small minds for breakfast.

Don Doble, the bisexual joke of patriarchy who answers to no one.

Lola Contessa, the horror slut reveling in her own glorious excess.

Cucu the Clown, because absurdity is sometimes the only honest language left.

And her homage to Frida and La Catrina — a flaming heart, a lineage of pain, and a new body pattern that rewards those willing to really look.

If you know Mueller’s history — from Gender Fuck to the emotional architecture of WOE — you know she’s never chasing polish. She chases truth. What she brought to IMMORTAL wasn’t WOE; it was a fresh constellation of selves born from that same refusal to hide.

These aren’t “characters” so much as survival strategies. Mirrors. Permissions. Proof that queer identity is not a single line but a whole unruly chorus fighting to be seen.

This is the spirit that drives TBQA into 2026: multiplicity, invention, artists who break form rather than shrink to fit it. If you’re building work that lives in that territory — the charged, the strange, the unguarded — TBQA’s residencies and exhibitions are opening their doors again soon. Start thinking about what you want to bring into the room.

IMMORTAL 2025 gave us Mueller’s six selves. 2026 is wide open for whatever you’re becoming next.
