The hermaphrodite on horseback is no warrior, they are a lover: a lover able to recruit bodies that were thus far unthinkable and, so, impossible to desire. A lover able to recruit a horde of beings with intersex anatomy with a mission: to revolutionise the idea of social order itself and transform it.
Using documentary theatre tools, autofiction and the freak show, Hermaphrodites on horseback or the rebellion of desire speaks of the experiences of being intersex from a first-person viewpoint. It proposes the foundation of a new order that is a far cry from the rigidly dual framework that we’ve inherited.
Sometimes unsettling, sometimes lurid, but always exciting, Hermaphrodites on horseback or the rebellion of desire traces the evolution of the myth of the hermaphrodite from the archaic myth to people who incarnate this figure today. It explains to us how the story changes when we become the narrators of our own difference.
