My Little Enlightenment Plays is a multimedia project centred around three experimental theatre pieces: 1. Don Carlos, or, Royal Jelly; 2. Les Bijoux Indiscrets, or, Paper Tigers; 3. Emilia Galotti’s Colouring Book of Feelings — all of which present imaginary tête-a-têtes with Enlightenment thinkers, writers, and scientists. The costumes and props are often a trace of past performance, but also a score that can be activated yet again in performance. Each element in a performance translates my text into another material and medium – which is itself a queer-feminist and oblique translation of Enlightenment texts and ideas.
