Lessons for Cadavers

Three people move around the stage in a grotesque dance of emotions ranging from panic and astonishment to violence and fragility. Lessons for Cadavers is inspired by the physical language of horror – its exaggeration and hyperbole – to reflect the attitude of the living. Death here is a magical and grotesque realm inhabited by strange life forms - a zone of transformation. The political struggles of recent years in Brazil, in which the extreme right uses fear as a weapon to dominate bodies, hearts and minds, were an important background for Michelle Moura, who herself comes from Brazil. She dissects how imprisonment in a necropolitical system can turn people into the living dead.
