Why Medieval/Fantasy?

“I’m talking to you, paladin! Why don’t you show your face to your king?”
“Sire, because I do not exist!”

Why Medieval/Fantasy? is a lecture performance that narrates through the complicated process of trying to understand modern medieval desires, queer medieval history and the process of historical obfuscation that has led to the current rise of neo-medieval rhetoric and aesthetics.

It's about grappling to secure oneself a place in the past, about holding together an empty suit of armor. About pure mettle.
