The exact identity of the redhead at the centre of Lady is hard to pin down. Is she a woman playing a man playing a woman, or more specifically, a lesbian playing a gay man playing a heterosexual woman? The juxtaposition of various cinematic styles in the film, from quasi 70s verite to home movies to a more distanced black and white, adds to the sense of a character continually redefining herself. This purposeful ambiguity - who is the lady in the red wig? - invites the audience to question the very parameters of sexuality, desire, and what it means to be a woman. Performing gender actor/writer Dominique Dibbell plays a range of received stereotypes of femininity from bruised victim of emotional neglect to penis envy, deconstructing the Lady of the title, in a disturbing series of sheddings and re-camouflaging in which her gender identity and sexuality transmute before your eyes.
