So I went to Kate Borenstein performance at Villanova, and to be honest I'm still not sure whether I have positive or negative feelings towards it. The best description of it would be Laryssa's caricature claim about Bornstein's development of her character, but extreme. While it was a great performance, it's intensity left me shell-shocked in a way and I'm not sure if it was in a good way. There were extreme's in that there emotional highs and lows but no in between. In Kate Bornstein's autobiographical performance she really delved into her past in a surreal way. I think she was trying to shock/ educate the audience particularly it was Villanova. She definitely pushed me into uncomfortable places, that I am still trying to work out. I feel this was intentional to allude to the experience of exploring one's gender- it's a continuing process asking and re-asking and answering and re-answering questions about your life.
