Magali Viguier-Mulleras & Didier Mulleras, french choreographers, based their dance company in Béziers (South France) in 1986. They actually work in their own studios, the CED center, where they create and teach. They both have had a rich and pluralistic training (dance, music, theater).

Didier had earlier a musical training (piano, voice, percussions), then toured in various bands playing Jazz and brasilian music. Since 1990, he composes the original musics for all the company's stage works, in an eclectic melting-pot of synthetic and acoustic sound.

In 1998, owing to their stage director Nicolas Grimal, they launch their website www.mulleras.com to guest the “mini@tures” project, and their works about Dance & New Technologies. More than 78.000 persons connected on their website, from 70 different countries, have discovered the 100 short films created for Internet. The project received the special price of the Jury at Festival CYNET 2000 in Dresden (Germany). 2002: the “mini@tures” project is achieved, and will keep on touring in France - Portugal - Italy - USA - Mexico - Latvia- Brasil... The web works from "mini@tures" will remain permanently available on the web, in free access.

From 2002 to 2005, Mulleras Dance Company will create and launch its new project “INVISIBLE”, coproduced in France by Le Cargo - Grenoble and CNC (French National Cinematography Center), a four-years process, a new creative universe, for web, multimedia and stage ...

Magali and Didier Mulleras are part of the new generation of artists who do not wish to remain subjugated to established styles, as much in the writing of movement as in the places of representation. Their creative process using multimedia, notably internet, is today appreciated as a new path to be taken. Their curious look at the world allows them to confront their dance to the technical improvement of this millenium, showing a new dance in ever-changing settings...
