Marc Rees is one
of Wales’s leading exponents of contemporary performance
and installation. His innovative interdisciplinary artworks
are known for their flamboyant, humorous and often extreme
interpretations of history, culture and personal experience.
In addition to working with some of Britain’s foremost
physical theatre companies (Brith Gof, Earthfall and DV8)
and Germany’s premiere choreographers (Angela Guerreiro,
Thomas Lehmen and Tanz Compagnie Rubato) his own extensive
body of work includes the solo stage works Iddo Ef/Caligula
Disco/Gloria Days, the installation/performances The House
Project /RevolUn/Shed*light and the BBC film A Very Gladys
night.
He has lived and worked in Amsterdam, Montreal and Berlin and
has initiated under his company R.I.P.E (Rees International
Projects Enterprise) several highly successful artistic alliances
with furniture designers, film makers, authors, composers and
