Is it possible to represent lesbians in the theater? The parodic performances of the ‘The Five Lesbian Brothers’ group, born on the stage of the WOW Cafe, provides an affirmative answer to this question. The production of a lesbian subject rests on the use of a camp style relying on humor, theatricality and incongruity. Subversive parody criticizes the cultural clichés of the lesbian, but it also poses the question of their reappropriation. A detailed study of The Secretaries and Brides of the Moon will illustrate the workings of the theatricality of lesbian camp and the modes of queer resistance.
