MEDIATHEK

Eight years after the death of Nigel Charnock, one of the founders of the legendary DV8 Physical Theatre company, which pushed the boundaries of contemporary dance, Marco D’Agostin wrote his former mentor a letter. But what do you write to someone who will never reply? In the format of an entertainment show, set against a LED curtain, D’Agostin takes the audience on a journey that is both joyful and melancholic, sharing historical and personal anecdotes of unanswered letters, along with a a medley of various songs, dances, and texts. “BEST REGARDS” is a nostalgic tribute to all those who were too late to say what they wish they had said.

Marco D’Agostin is the winner of the 2018 UBU Award for Best Performer Under 35 and the 2023 UBU Award for Best Dance Performance. In 2023 he was awarded the 4th Riccione Special Prize for dramaturgical innovation. He is an associate artist of the Piccolo Teatro in Milan.
His works question the functioning of memory, giving life to choreographic devices that starting from personal or collective archives seek to trigger with the audience practices of participation and identification. He has studied entertainment as a form of a specific relationship between performer and spectator, taking its shadowy areas and failures as sites of luminous revelations. His dance, a complex geography in which sounds, words and movements continually collide, always tends toward the emotional compromise of the performer and the spectator.
After training with internationally renowned masters (e.g. Yasmeen Godder and Nigel Charnock), he danced as a performer e.g. for many choreographers. Since 2010, he has been taking part in international choreographic research projects. He has been hosted in the main European festivals and theaters and has presented his shows in many prestigious overseas contexts. In 2020 he was invited to make a new creation for Biennale College, while in the following years he created many other pieces.
Marco D’Agostin is one of the founders of VAN, a dance production organization. He was also the male lead in Marco Righi’s award-winning film Days of harvest.

// DEUTSCH //

Acht Jahre nach dem Tod von Nigel Charnock – dem Gründer der legendären und grenzensprengenden Kompanie DV8 Physical Theatre – schrieb Marco D’Agostin seinem einstigen Mentor einen Brief. Doch was einer Person schreiben, die nie mehr antworten wird? In einer Unterhaltungsshow vor einem LED-Vorhang erzählt D’Agostin mal fröhlich, mal melancholisch historische und persönliche Anekdoten zu unbeantworteten Briefen. Als ein Medley aus Songs, Choreografien und Texten ist “BEST REGARDS” eine nostalgische Hommage an all jene, die es versäumt haben, etwas mitzuteilen, was sie auf dem Herzen hatten.
