Eric Mhin Cuong Castaing

Choreographer Eric Minh Cuong Castaing, born in Seine-Saint-Denis, founded the company Shonen in 2007. It is since 2016 associate artist at the National Ballet from Marseille. In his company, he has signed fifteen creations – shows, installations, performances, films … – bringing dance and new technologies into contact (humanoid robots, drones, augmented reality …). 

His projects, which he describes as in socius, take shape within societal realities, in partnership with institutions (research laboratories, schools, hospitals, NGOs …) outside the world of art. Éric MCC thus explores the relational modes of bodies and their representations in the digital age, questioning the art / society duality, real / fiction, nature / culture, organic / artificial. The work of his company is disseminated in France and in Europe (Pompidou Center, CND Paris, Tokyo Palace, Charleroi Danse, Tanzhaus nrw Düsseldorf, Tanzquartier Vienna, Lowry Manchester …)
