During her thirty years as a choreographer Maguy Marin has never stopped questioning the “aesthetically correct” and exploring the potential of the human body to narrate life. Nor has she ceased to intrigue her audiences, enchanting them at times, unsettling them at others. She returns to the Athens Festival for a fifth time with BiT (2014), immersing us in a rhythmic world that electrifies the senses, as three men and three women, pulsating to the sound of drums and electronic music, fashion tenebrous images of great visual impact that bring to mind the paintings of Goya and Bosch.
The Company Maguy Marin is subsidized by le Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, la Ville de Lyon, la Région Rhône-Alpes and with the financial support for touring abroad from Istitut français.
Company Maguy Marin is an Associate Company at the Τhéâtre Garonne scène europèene à Toulouse, France.
