Carrying a Y chromosome after a bone marrow transplant, Charlotte Engelkes asks herself: Where do I end and the other one begin? Can I be everything?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Together with dancer, choreographer and drag artist Sofia S\u00f6derg\u00e5rd, Engelkes creates a performance about identity, existence, life and death. With dance, music, stand-up, opera, comedy and drama, Transplantation is a life-affirming variety show inspired by bone marrow transplants, love stories and Wagner.<\/p>\n

Today, Charlotte has a completely new blood type and a Y chromosome. This new version of her is just over two years old. So she is somewhat reborn - and the old Charlotte is somewhat dead.<\/p>\n

For Charlotte, the link to the story of Tristan and Isolde is obvious. Their love causes them to dissolve together. They do not know where one ends and the other begins. They cease to be themselves, they become one.<\/p>\n

As Charlotte's co-stars in the show, we see the dancer, actor, choreographer and DJ,\u00a0Sofia S\u00f6derg\u00e5rd<\/a>. Sofia S\u00f6derg\u00e5rd and Charlotte Engelkes have long been looking for a context where they could work together on stage. Like Charlotte, Sofia has in many ways advanced the positions in Swedish performing arts on how we look at norms and identity, bringing up for discussion who we are and why and how we look at each other.<\/p>\n

The music in the performance is (in the usual Engelkes spirit) a mash-up of newly written and classical music, in an imminently composed sound collage by Willi Bopp. Pieces of music from the opera\u00a0Tristan and Isolde<\/em> by Richard Wagner, is recorded by and with the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Bj\u00f6rkman.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Engelkes<\/h3>\n

Charlotte Engelkes<\/a>\u00a0is a director and performance artist. Her productions are performed both in Sweden and at dance and theatre festivals around the world. Charlotte's artistic range spans dance, theatre, performance and opera - all in her own highly personal way. The performance\u00a0Miss very Wagner<\/em>, which for the first time celebrated and explored four of the most famous heroines from Richard Wagner's operatic world, was a surprising and heartfelt solo musical that reached an audience far beyond the world of opera lovers. It was the starting point for a series of stage works in which valkyries, heroes, giants and dragons have been given new life in the same loving and dramatic way, whether the audience was adults or children. Charlotte Engelkes was last seen at Dansens Hus in the show\u00a0Lohengrin Dreams<\/a> 2019.<\/p>\n
