Abstract:
This paper explores the persistent relationship between
theatre and human sexuality. Following from the re-descriptions of
nature in terms of deterministic chaos and dissipative structures, it
will propose a phenomenological notion of the human event at the
boundary of natural order-chaos using the figure of the hermaphrodite as
the ideal project of both theatre and sex.
