Description

The Mystery of the Father!<div> After gender and the penis, Mickaël Délis explores male semen. From Aristotelian fantasies about bodily fluids to new forms of filiation, it is the figure of the father, at the heart of patriarchal excess, that is called into question here. On stage, numerous characters surround a son who has lost his father, who donates his sperm at Tenon Hospital, and who absolutely does not want children. The atmosphere is palpable. "The Glitter of Their Lives, or Peace Moves" is the third and final installment of The Third Type Trilogy.</div><div> In this work, the author continues his close examination of the male sex. After exploring gender in the first volume and biological sex in the second, the descent into the heart of the male necessitated concluding with the testicles and their contents. Sperm is simultaneously a fluid open to all fetishes, the foundation—along with the ovum—of reproduction, and thus of lineage.</div>
