April 04 to April 06, 2025 / FRI + SAT 8 pm | SUN 6 pm Léonard Engel CARCASSE schwere reiter
‘It's been a while since I haven't felt disgust, anger or hopelessness when reading the news. I am surprised that these feelings, which many people probably share, are not expressed more clearly in the public debate. As if they need to be suppressed. As if these feelings are the last taboo in our society, when all other taboos have already been torn down. In CARCASSE, I want to create a place where the body is free to experience these emotions, to recognise them, to surrender to them completely, to move to their beat.’ (Léonard Engel)
How to move on when abomination seems to be winning? When democracy is crumbling. When political hypocrisy is omnipresent. When everything we once considered sacrosanct is desecrated and shattered? When every emotion, every everyday gesture is tainted by disgust?
In Carcasse, five performers confront the remains of their being. They inhabit a body whose structure is irrevocably marked - a skeleton, a carcass in which disgust and powerlessness determine every movement. How to make this body dance? Vacillating between gentleness and rage, torpor and ecstasy, they create the image of a gloomy present and an uncertain future.
Léonard Engel, a former soloist with the Bayerisches Staatsballett who has been working in Munich since 2018, continuously explores the connections between the body, emotions and their social dimensions in his work. In CARCASSE, he also devotes himself to exploring the body and its affects in the context of social issues and translating them into movement and choreographic language.
