Cathy Levy speaks with Catalan dance artist
María Muñoz on the eve of her
National Arts Centre debut in April 2016. María explains the significance of her separate encounters with Japanese dance theatre artist
Shusaku Takeuchi, and with
Pep Ramis, her long-time partner, collaborator and co-founder of the group
Mal Pelo. In 2001, Muñoz and Ramis acquired a historic property in Gerona which they converted to a centre for multidisciplinary creation and research named
L’animal a l’esquana. On a more personal level, María talks about the challenges of performing and tells us why she chose a
Glenn Gould recording to accompany her intimate solo
Bach.
