Orlando, ma biographie politique
Paul B. Preciado, France, 2023o
Virginia Woolf’s “Orlando” tells the story of a young man who grows up to become a 36-year-old woman. Almost a century after its publication, Paul B. Preciado speaks to Virginia Woolf to tell her that her fictional character has become a reality. The transition of Orlando’s body now lies at the root of all non-binary bodies and there are Orlandos all over the world. Through the authentic voices of other young bodies undergoing metamorphosis, Preciado retraces the stages of his personal transformation through a poetic journey in which life, writing, theory and image merge freely in the search for truth.
Virginia Woolfs Roman «Orlando» erzählt von einem Adeligen, der sich im Laufe seines Lebens in eine Frau verwandelt. In dieser Neubearbeitung des Stoffs schlüpfen junge Transmenschen in die Titelrolle und verbinden ihre Metamorphose mit den Erlebnissen der Romanfigur.
