Marcat Dance is the artistic home for award-winning Spanish Choreographer Mario Bermudez Gil and American co-founder Catherine Coury. The Spain-based company is dedicated to sharing their creativity and joy of movement through creation, performance, and teaching opportunities around the world. We believe in the power of the imagination, creative risk-taking, and continuous research towards dynamic physicality.
Mario Bermúdez continues to investigate with an intense and dazzling physical language, deeply rooted and connected to human emotions and contradictions. On this occasion, he takes Dante’s “lnferno” as his starting point, referring to its initiation and symbology along the journey. This journey brings each performer closer to his true essence, to his most intuitive and animal self. Averno is a transformative physical and emotional journey that contains a search: the inner reconquest.
