The Opposite Sex Is ....Neither

[Lidia2]

Kilka sztuk teatralnych zostało mi w pamieci na wiele lat.
Poza Pani niezwykłym monodramem nt dziecka autystycznego w teatrze Studio, taką sztuką jest też monodram "The Opposite Sex Is Neither", który widziałam kilkanaście lat temu w USA.
(The Opposite Sex ... Is Neither! is a one-woman performance piece written and performed by Kate Bornstein).
Zachecam do zainteresowania sie tą sztuką dla Pani teatru.

Znalazłam kilka linków ze szczegółami na ten temat, np recenzja z New York Times:

Dla tych, którym się ten link nie otwiera wklejam fragment:

Theater review
Review/Theater; Exploring Sexes and Identities
By BEN BRANTLEY
Published: August 30, 1993, Monday

Kate Bornstein, the creator of and sole performer in "The Opposite Sex Is Neither" at Performance Space 122, could be an entire discussion panel on "Donahue" all by herself. A former man who became a woman and is now a lesbian, Ms. Bornstein has constructed a series of mystically connected monologues in which she embodies a host of characters on different levels in the twilight zone of sexual identity: a male impersonator, a "she-male" drag queen and five others who have, through surgery and sartorial camouflage, crossed the gender line from both directions.
.....
Ms. Bornstein, who lives in San Francisco, is also a journalist, and, in rooting her various characters in specific sociological detail, she recalls that other noted performer journalist, Anna Deavere Smith. But while Ms. Smith maintains an academic distance from her impersonations, Ms. Bornstein wraps each of hers in a warm mantle of empathy. She is expert in conveying the pain and disorientation of people who belong nowhere in the established social order.


Dziekuję za wieloletnią cierpliwość do nas (widowni)
