Martademarte

Clown

Martademarte finished Classical Ballet studies at 17, and at 21 she was dancing La Bayadère with the Opera de Paris. Apart from Classical Ballet, she also studied Movement Observation at ‘Laban Center for Actors and Dancers’ (London, UK ) and at Folkang Hochschule in Essen (Wuppertal, Germany) directed by Pina Bauch. From one ballet company to another, always being part of the corps of ballet she always dreamt of being a soloist dancer. And then, one day, in a casting mistake, Els Comediants theatre company included her in their clowns group, instead of in the dancers one. That changes her life… She becomes Martademarte, street artist since 1999. Alfredo, the second memeber, is performing around Europe like music clown with the company Martademarte since 2009, before he played in different pop/rock bands.
