M & Company – the name says it all

The name may first sound like a typical ballet company, but there is much more to M & Company than meets the eye: Mateo Klemmayer’s plans are ambitious and far-reaching. Dance will remain the central focus of all productions, but audiences can expect to see the dancers joined by artists of other disciplines in future projects.

In fact, Klemmayer views his company as a forum in which artists realise projects together with dancers. Poets, painters and sculptors, DJs and musicians, multi-media and performance artists will collaborate with the dance troupe within a thematic framework determined by its artistic director.

The ‘M’ in M & Company is thus not only the initial of Klemmayer’s first name, Mateo. In German, it also stands for the innumerable Möglichkeiten - possibilities - that can arise from the meeting of ballet and other artforms. ‘M’ stands for motion, music, materials, and for multimedia – in short, for more. Exploring the depths of these possibilities, making new discoveries from new combinations – that is the goal of M & Company.
