Abstract

As I listen and watch, I am aware that I am sitting next to others. We are spectators in darkness, just as Maqoma was in darkness at the start of this show. We too are gradually emerging in the light, gaining definition, especially as we react to Maqoma, sometimes audibly as we sigh or sharply draw in our breath, other times physically as we shift our weight in a chair or lean forward. I am so close (or I imagine I am) that I can feel Maqoma’s heat and moisture and the percussive gusts of air radiating out from him. (207)

棱镜表演:酷儿南非和彩虹之国的分裂
当我听和看的时候,我意识到我坐在别人旁边。我们是黑暗中的旁观者,就像马科马在这场演出开始时处于黑暗中一样。我们也逐渐出现在光中,获得定义,特别是当我们对Maqoma做出反应时,有时是我们叹息或急剧吸气的声音,有时是我们在椅子上移动身体或向前倾的身体。我离它如此之近(或者我想象我离得如此之近),以至于我能感觉到马库马身上的热气和湿气,以及从它身上散发出来的强烈的气流。(207)
