Laurent Chétouane

In his last string quartet op. 131, Beethoven appears to bid farewell to his entire work. All musical forms he had created until then are disassembled into autonomous parts. At the end of the piece they can no longer be held together by any compositional logic. In »Op. 131: End/Dance« dancer Léonard Engel investigates this in a confrontation with Beethoven’s demeanour, in order to find a possible beginning in the end of dance: alone, but supported and inspired by the music played live, he transforms his subjective delight in disassembly into a choreographic process.
