Mark Tompkins is an American choreographer whose been working in France for years and whose performances are present at many European and world's festivals. His work is compared by many to the young choreographic stars such as Sasha Waltz, Jerome Belom or the older Marie Chouinard. He will perform in Zagreb in one of his most personal shows 'Song and Dance', which deals with his perception of the body as a mask that sometimes should be hidden, and other times naked and revealed.
'Song and Dance' talks about the artists who, step by step, peeps out of and exits his role on the stage. By taking off his make up and the costume he presents to the public the private sphere where illness is hidden, but also life. The experience of the show reminds one of the voyeurism of birth, in spite of the obvious deterioration and collapse of the dreams of final liberation.
