Internationally renowned for his trailblazing innovations in performance that have radically redefined dance in the modern era, McGregor presents his latest creation in 2017, Autobiography, a work that involves some of the best world-leading geneticists allowed to sequence his entire genome. The personal biological archaeology thus laid bare will dramatically alter McGregor’s viewpoint on his own life-story, tracing patterns back into the ancestral past of our species and illuminating what creates our individuality. Combining memoir, documentary, and a re-processing of nature’s code through an act of human imagination, this new work charts McGregor’s adventure into his autobiography, and asks how to understand a life.
