The Centro Coreografico Nazionale/Aterballetto pays tribute to Ennio Morricone with a new production by Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau.
With his visionary power and ability to transfigure musical universes, the Spanish artist presents a unique creation intertwining the music of Academy Award-winning composer Ennio Morricone with dance, visual arts, and cinematic influences.
Marcos Morau, the youngest choreographer to receive the National Dance Award—Spain’s highest dance honor—builds imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe, constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature. Now, in his first collaboration with CCN/Aterballetto, he has chosen to work with the iconic compositions that have shaped the cinematic landscape over the past seventy years: those of Academy Award-winning composer Ennio Morricone.
The director says: «Classically trained yet avant-garde in spirit, Morricone was always beyond the trends of his time. 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 beyond the films for which it was created.»
