This performance questions the naturalized binaries of gender and sexuality while highlighting the performativity of these categories. Using poetry, music, comedy and movement, MilDRED expresses the way in which discovering her male persona, DRED, has refashioned the gendered notions of her sexual and spiritual self. Haitian-American and internationally known, MilDRED is an actress, lecturer and workshop presenter best known for her mystical one-woman shows.
