Variations Chorégraphiques: depuis , les chorégraphes français et Beckett

Abstract

For the past thirty years, French choreographers have often staged Beckett's work, in particular since the famous production of Maguy Marin, (1981). This article present an analysis of some of these pieces, and tries to understand why Beckett's texts seem to have a privileged location within the literary references of choreographers, and to what extent this filiation echoes aesthetic positions within contemporary dance.
