Mutatis is a captivating adventure blending historical facts with the magical journey of a winged girl and her extraordinary friends—a noble dwarf, a bearded French lady, and other children sold as attractions for the "Great American Museum." This iconic New York venue, established in 1849, became one of the most successful entertainment hubs of the 19th century, drawing thousands of visitors and laying the groundwork for Broadway’s modern show business.The museum’s attractions were individuals born different, with unique physical traits that society deemed too exotic to accept. Often, these children were sold by desperate families to wandering performers or wealthy merchants who scoured the globe in search of new spectacles for the burgeoning circus-theater scene. Mutatis explores their untold stories, weaving a tale of resilience, wonder, and the quest for belonging in a world that viewed their differences as curiosities.
