Okay, here's my point - plain for all. I think the show is great and really worth seeing. My critique is a philosophical difference, not a question of the shows merit. I personally think that the diachotomy of Nature-Culture is a reduction.

I like the Mother-Whore complex because it creates a non-binary structure. It is a third thing. The Marys are Mothers and Whores and Mother-Whores. That doesn't need a hierarchy. They are all three symbols and none of them are privileged.

I would like to see that non-binary structure also applied to the Nature-Culture dialectic. So that it is not a matter of dominance. The Body of Christ can be nature, culture and nature-culture.

Actually the other thing I really liked was another pairing in the show. The mono-binary of the city creatures - which look fantastic by the way. The dialectic of two things that are the same (creature versus creature) is quite interesting when in conflict. This critical construction of war, or oppositional logic, is exactly what I am talking about. The fact that they were fighting over Culture (the Bones of Christ) is also interesting. However, this being contextualised as somehow being a part of the folly of Culture as a justification of Nature's dominance, lead it back into binary logic.

But man, those city creatures sure looked great, and when they came out of the stage, I was really capitavated.
