Tributes have been paid to the actor Marcello Magni whose death at the age of 63 was announced on Sunday by Simon McBurney and Complicité, the theatre company they co-founded almost 40 years ago.
McBurney said he was “utterly bereft” and called Magni “my brother, my comrade, compañero, hilarious dancer, unparalleled improviser [and] partner-in-play”. Other theatre-makers acknowledged Magni’s huge influence. Told By an Idiot’s artistic director, Paul Hunter, tweeted: “He simply blew me away and changed the way I thought about performing.”
