“The third scene is more difficult to describe. It is the scene of myth, of stories of which you do not know whether they are true or not, where the everyday and the miraculous mix. It takes place in a mixture of the man-made and the natural, the real and the imagined. Ruins and trees create a framework that shows us our own society in a mirror that reveals both its temporality and its order, its natural beauty and its artifice, all wrapped around nymphs, satyrs, and other hybrid creatures.”
I will propose queer space as a kind of third scene, a third place for the third sex, that functions as a counterarchitecture, appropriating, subverting, mirroring, and choreographing the orders of everyday life in new and liberating ways.”
