“May B” is a piece of humanity: an archaic chorus of characters who seem shaped in clay, timeless witnesses of an infinite wandering”, confessed Maguy Marin, who also added: “Maurice Béjart worshipped the body. Everything was youth, virtuosity, radiance. I, for one, wondered about the other bodies, the stumbling, petrified, clumsy bodies that can hardly stand…”
Samuel Beckett’s work inspired Maguy Marin to create her broken lives which celebrate a unique, excruciatingly burlesque form.
