Stories About My Body

Auckland-based actress Morgana O’Reilly turns her own body into a map of memory, mischief, and motherhood. With the precision of stand-up and the intimacy of a confession, she traces a life lived in skin: 78 organs, 206 bones, 32 teeth, 8.8 kilograms of armour, and two whole human bodies brought into the world.

AroView: A filmed version of a triumphant one-woman theatre piece devised and performed by Morgana O’Reilly, star of Aro comedy-horror favourite, Housebound.

It’s a showcase of funny and emotional stories centred around her conflicted relationship with her body and the part it has played in key events across the four decades of her life. It’s a very personal journey full of surprises and profoundly relatable vignettes, told by an engaging performer with the courage of her convictions, and comes especially recommended for audiences looking for a laugh wrapped in a body positive experience.
