The Uncanny Lady M

Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth, a character whose gender inhibits the ferocity of her ambitions to do what must be done, ”Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here…”. I re-imagined her as a beautiful cyborg, a post-human machine without the constraints of morality, class, race or gender—fierce and seductive, a disquieting beauty of pain and pleasure. My imaginings and real-life were not quite in-sync.
