Léonard Engel: CARCASSE

In the organizer's words:

Five performers immerse themselves in the multi-layered realm of disgust as an emotional, physical and socio-cultural phenomenon. They explore the relationship to the organic body, which - socially conditioned - is tamed and controlled. The piece also explores social dynamics and the function of disgust as a means of dehumanization and discrimination.

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 emotions in the context of social issues and translating them into movement and choreographic language.
