Long before us, Inuit have found ways to reconcile the sexual identities that coexist in a being.
“In the background of this duality, I discover that there are gender relations in Inuit mythology. Summer is women's season and winter is men's. This sexual dualism is at the origin of the Inuit conception of the world." And D’Anglure adds that this system even allows the overlap between the sexes, with the appearance of a man-woman or a third sex.
"My challenge is to make our society aware of the possibility offered by our own myths of creating that third sex that can become a mediator in crisis situations."
"It's a whole theory of the soul, a whole system of reincarnation that was unfolding before my eyes," he says. "A very complex system where Inuit played with gender identities and kinship in a very skillful way."
