MELANCHOLÍA

In his new group work MELANCHOLÍA, Josep Caballero Garcia questions the romantic relationship concept which has been passed down by Georg Friedrich Händel’s heroic opera »Giuglio Cesare in Egitto« since 1724 and uses the broad spectrum of human affect as a foundation for a piece about desirous bodies. The baroque opera heroes, who were driven by power and eroticism and once performed by castrati, are a vehicle for him and his team to think about the contradictory corporeal constructs of the West and to reconstruct them using their own bodies.
