Marco Berrettini – dancer and choreographer, lives in Geneva. His interest in dancing began in 1978, when he won the German championship of Disco Dancing. After his A levels, he starts a professional dance-formation (London, Essen, Wuppertal). In Essen and Wuppertal he develops his interest for the German Tanztheater. His initial work is under a huge influence of the Jooss/Laban/Leeder/Cecchetti technique and Pina Bausch’s Tanztheater Wuppertal. In 1988 he sets up his Company Tanzplantation. In 1999 the Kampnagel Theatre in Hamburg produces his show MULTI(S)ME. Following the advice of the Kampnagel Director Res Bosshart, his Company, strong of 12 members, changes its name. *MELK PROD. Is born. Since then Marco Berrettini, in collaboration with his Company, has produced more than 25 pieces (e.g. No Paraderan, *MELK PROD. goes to New Orleans), and won some prizes like the ZKB PRIZE at the Theaterspektakel Festival in Zurich. Berrettini’s work spreads widely. From the Performance in Museums to movie-productions with foreign film-directors; from Video-Installations at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to festive dinner parties with famous people who don’t know him at all. But his best “creation” is and will be Stella, his 6 years old daughter.
