HERMAPHRODITUS
Written and Performed by Zoe Terakes
Directed by Declan Greene
This is a love letter to wogs.
A staged reading.
A love letter to trans people who find their way home through fists and words that burn.
A love letter to ethnic queers.
This is a love letter to anyone who has been ripped away from their own life, who has had to fight their way back in it.
Hermaphroditus begins as a young, charged Greek boy with a fat crush on his Arab best friend. They go out together with all their mates, get high, have sex, and score from a Turkish female dealer in the club; Salmacis. They are floating. Hermaphroditus later finds himself in a toilet cubicle at the club, tripping bullets, when Salmacis barges in and the assault takes place.
Two enter the cubicle, and only one exits. Hermaphroditus is changed.
