Maguy Marin does not simply dance with her body. She dances with sounds, words, phrases, with language in general. Since her first works, the word has always been the source of movement, a type of rhythmic rule that is somewhat concealed as is evident, in the famous "Finished, it's finished, nearly finished, it must be nearly finished" from Beckett's Endgame, and provides a composition of rhythmic cells from "May B".
