“Do we truly need a true sex?”

Of Mirrors and Angels weaves together the memoirs of an intersexed person from nineteenth-century France, a short story by Honore de Balzac, and contemporary narrative to question our idea of gender. Because there’s more to love than boy meets girl and there’s more to gender than male and female, masculine and feminine. But why does crossing these lines so often result in a price paid in blood? Are those who are neither male nor female monsters? Or are they angels?

Of Mirrors and Angels by Vena Cava Productions, is on show as part of the Festival of Australian Student Theatre (FAST) 2015.  Experience dozens of new performances and supporting events including the 24 Hour Play Project, Q&A’s, forums as well as a range of entertainment at FAST from Friday October 2 to Sunday October 4.
