May B - Cie. Maguy Marin

In the organizer's words:

With "May B", choreographer Maguy Marin has written dance history. The classic first saw the light of day in 1981 and remains timelessly topical as a congenial response to Samuel Beckett's dramas. Beckett brought waiting to the stage, Maguy Marin translates his existentialism into movement: Her ten-strong company forms a bizarre panopticon of dusty old creatures shuffling about unhoused. Beckett's celebration of hope in hopelessness takes on a weightless cheerfulness to the wistful sounds of Franz Schubert and Gavin Bryars. Awkwardness becomes beguiling grace, humor and tenderness develop a deeply human dignity.
