Esta breve tragedia de la carne

Emily Dickinson lived an introverted, reclusive life. A prolific poet, this young woman pondered mystery and absence, questioning death, nature, the soul, God and existence. Her poetry is both limpid and opaque, placing her on the side of resistant - even revolutionary - women, conquerors.

The passionate Angélica Liddell drew inspiration from the American to create Esta breve tragedia de la carne, presented in its world premiere at La Bâtie. Through Dickinson, she continues her quest for her own sense of the sacred, the search for a primitive state, and cites as references David Lynch's Elephant Man and the sulphurous photographers Diane Arbus and Joel Peter Witkin - both fascinated by beings with strange physical characteristics. At the heart of a showcase, surrounded by bees, the Spaniard will capsize our hearts and senses.
