Marco Berrettini

An Italian dancer and choreographer born in Germany, Marco Berrettini’s interest in dance began after a victory at the German disco dancing championships. Trained at the London School of Contemporary Dance, he then graduated from the Essen Folkwangschulen, under the direction of Hans Züllig and Pina Bausch. While there, he developed his interest in Tanztheater and began his career as a choreographer with a solo, Le Père Noël lubrique. In 1988, he entered into a collaboration with the Marseille choreographer Georges Appaix, before creating some fifteen shows with his company, including No Paraderan that was performed for the first time in 2004 at the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris.
