Étant Donnés

Étant Donnés is a duet formed by Eric and Marc Hurtado and created in Grenoble in 1980. Born respectively in 1959 and 1962 in Rabat, Morocco, the two brothers have chosen both orality and writing, with a clear, semantic word, yet without the burden of grammar. Through them, it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressing their voices.
