Constanza Macras – one of the most important contemporary choreographers, born in 1970 in Buenos Aires (Argentina) where she studied contemporary dance and fashion design. She continued her education in New York and Amsterdam. She moved to Berlin in 1995. In 2003, she formed the Constanza Macras | DorkyPark group, composed of dancers, actors and musicians representing various countries and generations. In her works, Constanza addresses social and political issues, translating them into a language which combines word, live music, dance and video. Her performances are shown regularly in Berlin: at Hebbel am Ufer, Schaubühne and Volksbühne. Her performances also featured at numerous European festivals or toured, e.g. in Korea, Japan and the United States. 2008 brought her Goethe-Institut award for the performance “Hell on Earth”, while in 2010 she received the German theatre award Der Faust for the best choreography in “Megalopolis”. So far, she has twice visited Poland, with “Big in Bombay” at the 7th Body/Mind Festival in Warsaw (2008) and with “Hell on Earth” at the 2nd International Theatre Festival Warszawa Centralna (2010).
