Josep Caballero García / Queerpraxis

Melancholía

Duration 80 min.

Language English 

Josep Caballero García’s first choreographic opera “Melancholía”, a HAU co-production, is a plea for getting rid of identity categories. García interrogates the concept of romantic relationships as passed down to us from Händel’s 1724 opera “Guilio Cesare in Egitto”, making the entire spectrum of human affects the basis for his piece about desiring bodies. The opera heroes and heroines of the Baroque, once sung by castrati and governed by power and eroticism, are for him a good test to reflect on the contradictions of western body constructs and to alter them on his own body.
