Time, identity and history swirl around Carcasse, as this undefined being transforms in almost imperceptible, deeply embodied ways: Carcasse grows, then fossilizes, then crumbles. The structure, abstract yet emotionally vivid, registers a crisis of being. Radical in its compression and philosophical depth, \u003cem\u003eCarcasse\u003c\/em\u003e invokes the universality of Beckett’s theatre and the force of Celan’s poetry. Navarro probes the fragility of identity, the urgency of presence, and the liminal state in which we find ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMariette Navarro\u003c\/strong\u003e is an educator, novelist, and dramaturg.
