TICKET

ICARUS is a choreographic performance that explores the idea of post-human dance: who will dance when humans are no longer here? The choreography is constructed as an echo of a forgotten language—a fossilized gesture that resurfaces in a world emptied of humanity. It is not the story of a fall nor a celebration of flight, but the crossing of a threshold: between matter and absence, between gesture and glitch, between ruin and light. The myth of Icarus crystallizes human hubris: the blind desire to surpass oneself, to the point of self-destruction. On stage, this translates into an unstable, immersive landscape in which light, sound, and body merge into a precarious perceptual environment. Everything burns, crumbles… and only the glare remains. The glare of an Icarus too close to the sun: a liminal moment between ascent and dissolution.

Matteo Carvone is a choreographer and dancer whose work blends physicality, scenography, and technology to create evocative and engaging experiences. Born in Trieste and based in Munich since 2012, he explores archetypal figures, human fragility, and the tension between structure and chaos. Through a multidisciplinary approach, his performances challenge perception, drawing the audience into multifaceted landscapes.
