PEREZ BERNAL, Ángeles M.a del Rosario. Love as a "lonely adventure" in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, by John Cameron Mitchell. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.64, pp.136-148.  Epub 22-Set-2022. ISSN 0120-1263.  https://doi.org/10.18566/escr.v30n64.a08.

Undoubtedly, the film Hedwig and the Angry Inch establishes a dialogue with the thesis of love exposed by Diotima of Mantinea in Plato's Banquet, in the sense of understanding love as a solitary adventure and primarily individual expansion. However, more than transferring the ideas of the Greek philosopher, the film opens a discussion about its validity and topicality in specific situations such as identity, ideology and gender. This is why anagnorisis becomes anamnesis in the film; dialectics is an agon, and identity, a becoming.
