Copi's theatre : trans processes and strategies : a Queer approach

Abstract

Copi’s theatre leads straight to a universe full of violence and transgression; two highly distinctive features of a unique author who exposes himself dealing with complex topics and polemics such as sexuality in a decade (the 1970’s) in which the revolutionary spirit tends to fight for freedom of bodies and for (homo)sexuality. Copi was one of those rebel authors, anti-system who showed his opposition to the hegemony of the oppressive heteronormed language. Our goal in this study is to understand Copi’s works from trans- strategies and processes, in order to analyse how the concepts of transculturality, transidentity and trans(s)exuality, interlinked to the experience of travel, exile, restless wandering transform into a learning process (perception of reality) that Copi uses as a representative strategy in his literary production and artistic creation. His « monsters » or « queer people », « weirdos », « abnormal » (drag artists, homosexuals, pussies, transsexuals, bisexuals, queers and others, etc.) wander freely around in his subversive imaginary universe to remind us that they once were stigmatized and called « queer », which is according to Judith Butler is a paralyzing insult and pronounced, in Paul B. Preciado’s terms, by « heterosexual subjects ».
