Residency 17\u201323 November 2025<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As part of the Pop-Up Residency at Staatstheater Darmstadt, choreographer Carlos D\u00edaz<\/strong> dedicates a one-week artistic research phase to his new dance theatre piece Tatort<\/em> (working title), scheduled to premiere from 18\u201320 June 2026 at Gallus Theater Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

The residency functions as a laboratory to explore the physical and atmospheric foundations of the work\u2014with a focus on movement experiments, sound design, and lighting. Together with one to two dancers, D\u00edaz investigates how gesture, rhythm, and light can make the tension between violence and desire\u2014central themes of Tatort<\/em>\u2014experientially tangible.<\/p>\n

During the residency at Staatstheater Darmstadt, a new choreographic section was developed that deals with sadness, masculinity, and stoicism. Its point of departure is the phrase \u201cboys don\u2019t cry,\u201d understood as a cultural structure that fosters emotional suppression and shapes particular conceptions of masculinity. From this premise, the choreography creates a poetic and physical fabric around notions of vulnerability, shyness, and emotional restraint.<\/p>\n

The work revolves around a central question: Is the denial of one\u2019s emotions a form of violence against oneself?<\/strong> And further: How are our emotional and sexual relationships shaped when, from early childhood, we are denied the right to tears, fragility, and the expression of pain?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This choreographic exploration is accompanied by the ballad \u00bfPor Qu\u00e9 Me Haces Llorar?<\/em> (\u201cWhy Do You Make Me Cry?\u201d) by the iconic Mexican singer Juan Gabriel\u2014a key figure of Latin American pop culture and a reference point of queer sensibility. His voice, full of drama and emotional intensity, forms a poetic counterpoint to the command of emotional hardness and opens a performative space in which crying is not seen as weakness but as an act of resistance.<\/p>\n
