Catalan dance artist María Muñoz

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.
