The DANCE Festival is putting on a guest performance at the Münchner Kammerspiele. Eleven dancers in fluorescent tracksuit bottoms and brightly coloured bobbed wigs will use the rhythm of their breathing to create a score of life itself. From the unceasing impulse to fill the lungs, the group will perform an homage to being alive that is poised between madness and wisdom. « M » is a fascinating statement by the exceptional Canadian choreographer Marie Chouinard who has been an international sensation for over four decades and is once again a guest at DANCE, this year with a European premiere.
Marie Chouinard has caused a stir both as a performer in her earlier works and in the pieces she creates for her eponymous company which she founded in 1990. She continues to challenge our view of and thinking about dance, the body and life. Exploring the limits of stage performance, her pieces have an anarchic tone and an exuberant physicality that passionately pushes itself to the extremes. Her artistic idiosyncrasy is theatrical and expressive, impatient and humorous, full of wacky breaches of taboos, sexual allusions and deeply human paradoxes. « M » once again testifies to the originality and sensuality of her oeuvre in which the act of breathing has always played a special role.
Download the application Cantique free-of-charge from the App Store. Cantique was conceived by Marie Chouinard with music by Louis Dufort and with the participation of Benoit Lachambre and Carol Prieur.
« M » is part of the 18. DANCE Biennale from 11th - 21st May in Munich.
