A decade after its premiere, Skin Touching, a Taiwanese lesbian play, was revived for the stage in 2015. This production, through its dramatic text, theatrical aesthetics, marketing strategies, and social critique teased out the complex evolution of local gender issues. Working at the intersection of phenomenology, psychology, queer theory, and domestic gender analysis, this paper examines the narration and the staging of Skin Touching, which mobilizes the critical framework of queer sensory writing The first section articulates the historical context of contemporary queer theater in Taiwan with a special focus on the original development of Skin Touching in 2004; the second section employs Zizek's psychoanalytic model to investigate the layered drag operations designed into the theatrical strategy of the script: the third section extends Ahmed's queer phenomenology to underscore the hyper-sensuality of stage presentation. |
