In another piece, D’Lo embodies the character of his mother Amma, wearing traditional Sri Lankan clothing. Amma talks to the audience about having a daughter who is transgender, an extra challenge that compounds the difficulties she already faces being an immigrant in a foreign country. The monologue addresses the additional pain she feels from “losing” D’Lo as a daughter, when she has already lost another daughter in 1991 to a plane accident. The performance concludes: “D’Lo may not be my daughter anymore, but she is my child. I must love her.”
