Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement to Declan Donnellan and Maguy Marin at the Venice Biennale
The Venice Biennale has announced the winners of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement for Theatre and Dance. The award for Dance went to Maguy Marin, a French choreographer famous for her 1981 work May B, inspired by the texts of Samuel Beckett. Virgilio Sieni, the director of the Biennale Danza, emphasized how Marin explores the body and space, revealing the complexity of the contemporary human being. Marin joins illustrious names such as Pina Bausch and William Forsythe. For Theatre, the Golden Lion was conferred to British director Declan Donnellan, 63, known for his productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre in London.
