Carcass (Video presentation)

A physical theater performance that tears into the heart of living and dying.

Carcass is a striking physical theatre and dance performance featuring six powerful performers who bring to life an unflinching exploration of the end of life with gripping, brutal, and emotional intensity. Set against a towering mirror that reflects both the performers and the audience, Carcass uses visceral physicality—pushing, pulling, and tearing into each other’s bodies and psyches—to confront the raw realities of living and dying.

The work is big and chaotic, much like life itself—messy, unpredictable, and charged with immense energy. The performers’ presence on stage radiates a fierce vitality as they wrestle with what it means to live, survive, and ultimately face death. In Carcass, bodies and emotions are fully on the line: laughter bursts through tears, exhaustion meets exaltation, and every moment becomes an expression of deep existential questioning.

This performance digs into the social dimension of death, urging audiences to examine personal identities and the fears we all harbour about mortality. It challenges us to confront the hardest questions: Who are we in the face of loss? How do we hold onto life while accepting the inevitability of death? Through its chaotic, intense, and deeply human exploration, Carcass reveals that embracing change is not just necessary—it is the very path to accepting death and truly living.

With its powerful blend of dance, theatre, and raw emotion, Carcass demands attention and courage from its audience, inviting us into a space where the messy, beautiful, and sometimes brutal experience of being alive is laid bare and questioned. This is a work that does not shy away from the darkness but meets it head-on, offering a moving meditation on existence, connection, and transformation.
