Re: Jane Doe

»Talking about sex isn’t revolutionary anymore – or is it?« Sex, body and language are political. To the people in Patty Kim Hamilton’s play, who are left nameless except Jane or John, communication and interpersonal exchange absolutely signify change and revolution.  In her multivocal play, the playwright explores talking about sex and the narration of experience, she questions common and internal imagery. One scene follows another, rhythmically soft and hard, some drastic, others delicate and persevering. Violence and its casualty, longing and pain of the ones left behind find a voice, seduction and betrayal, vulnerability and a great sense of awkwardness. The inability or impossibility to properly talk about sex and to put the experienced into words: consciousness and sensory experiences that are incompatible with a eloquent and fluent renditions or accounts.
