I agree. I love Dionysus, and this upset has a definite Dionysian energy to it, especially when you factor in the transgressions of gender roles in his myths and rituals. I'm thinking especially of Dionysus dressing Pentheus in women's clothes and leading him to the bacchanal. A drag performance is perfect for him.
