BACK ÀBAC is the title of the new show by Àngels Margarit / MUDANCES company; a title that refers to the elements brought into play as the starting point of the piece: the infinite, numbers, the music of Bach. BACK ÀBAC is a show under construction that aims to work with dance and circus artists on the idea of infinity. To do so, it uses Bach’s music as a sound map and universe to weave a sensual, visual choreography inspired by mathematics, with bodies that move in an extraordinary way or that make any movement seem extraordinary in this dance routine by Àngels Margarit.
Àngels Margarit founded the MUDANCES company in 1985, which takes its name from the first show Mudances. Right from the start the company won important international acclaim and its pieces have been co-produced and presented at festivals and on programmes all over the world. Margarit has developed a very personal style, based on her own research into language and poetics and her fascination with space, an essential component of her work. This has been developed through different fields and formats including projects for the stage and urban spaces, improvisation, video dance, installations and research into new media. She has been well known internationally since her beginnings, becoming an indisputable leading figure on the Spanish dance scene. With shows such as Kolbebasar, Atzavara, Solo per a habitació d’hotel, Corol·la, Tèrbola, L’edat de la paciència o Larandland, she has won numerous national and international prizes, such as the Bagnolet Choreography Competition (France, 1988), the National Dance Awards of Catalonia (1986, 1991, 1999) and the City of Barcelona Award for the Performing Arts (1993). From 2003 to 2007 she promoted and programmed the Tensdansa international dance festival in Terrassa.
