How SamueI Beckett lnspired France's Pioneering Choreographer Maguy Marin. Star choreographer Maguy Marin burst onto the 1970s French new wave dance scene. A contemporary of Pina Bausch, Marin's work stood out for its theatrical aesthetic, poIiticaI commentary, and audacious integration of traditionaI dance with unexpected narrative, musical and physical elements. In 1981, Marin's work May B, inspired by the work of modernist pIaywright SamueI Beckett, upset the dance world; it rejected traditionaI ideaIs of beauty and embraced a fiercely poIitical perspective. Since then, Marin's work has grown in popuIarity; she has won numerous awards and her pieces are reguIarly presented at all major dance festivaIs, from the Rio Favellas (LiIia Rodrigues's company) to the Joyce Theater (NY). The documentary Maguy Marin: Time to Act offers remarkable footage of Iive performances, as weII as first person interviews with a choreographer whose work is daring, moving and continues to defy convention. |
