The Centro Coreografico Nazionale/Aterballetto pays tribute to Ennio Morricone with the new production by Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau.
The Spanish artist, with his visionary power and ability to transfigure musical universes, presents a unique creation that intertwines the music of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone with dance, visual arts, and cinematic influences.
Marcos Morau, to date the youngest choreographer to have received the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe, constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature. Now, for his first collaboration with CCN/Aterballetto, he has chosen to engage with the iconic compositions that have shaped the cinematic landscape of the past seventy years: those of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone.
The director states: «With classical training and an avant-garde vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of the moment. His music belongs to an entire century and has brought many of our great masters back to life. For this evening, I want to build a universe based on his sensitivity to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he himself would say, my music has a life of its own, one that can live far beyond the films for which it was created».
