simon jones: mixing it: towards the hermaphroditic in performance


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.
