Always honing the theatrical tools with which to chart unknown emotional territory, Shepard in A Lie of the Mind more radically than before creates a new stage language, returning to the battered, objectified, and silenced female subject a voice of her own. It is a highly physical language, yet one that aims at dissolving the splits between mind and matter, as well as between conflicting and mutually exclusive genders, in an approach towards a concept of love not based on power and submission. This new form is borne by the mockery of men and by their treatment as women. The ensuing redefinition of male consciousness towards a recognition and incorporation of the feminine offers the promise for a shared redemption of the male and female characters alike. |
