Abstract

The interest in the "third gender" collides with the theoretical
approach to gender as a performative construction, often blurring
not only the borders between the two sex-gender poles, but also
between disciplines called upon to theorize the sexual criss-
-crossings. The paper questions one of such border-crossings, the
one between theatre and feminist theory, since "performance" and
"performative" derive principally from the already hybrid field of
Schechner's performance theory.
