The contemporary dance company, Compagnie Maguy Marin, is one of the most renowned in France. This fall, White Bird Dance brings the company to perform in Portland, Oregon – the French group’s only U.S. stop on their Americas tour.
The performance, Salves, set for Oct. 10-12 at Newmark Theater, is described as “a rollercoaster of a work that leads the audience through a journey of darkness and light, of mystery and suspense – and outrageous humor.
Filled with one surprise after the next, Marin’s highly theatrical piece conjures up Rod Serling’s famous introduction to The Twilight Zone, ‘You’re moving into a land of shadow and substance, of things and ideas.’”
New York Magazine calls the show, “Spellbinding, nerve-racking, and a thing of beauty.”
