The Chiostri di San Pietro are the most extraordinary monumental complex in Reggio Emilia, one of the most striking of the Italian Renaissance, with a shape that bears the recognisable hand of Giulio Romano.

The Chiostri di San Pietro are the evocative setting of DANZA AI CHIOSTRI, a summer event curated by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto and the Fondazione I Teatri di Reggio Emilia as part of the Restate summer programme of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia.

21 December H 21.00

«”I, Ennio Morricone, am dead”, wrote the composer before saying goodbye. His music, on the other hand, cannot. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without leaving us, and this is how memory takes care of keeping them alive, keeping them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father, or my grandfather, I am a direct heir of his legacy, of the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.» – Marcos Morau

Notte Morricone, the new creation of CCN/Aterballetto signed by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, is in Ludwigsburg, Germany.

Notte Morricone is a devoted tribute by choreographer Marcos Morau to the beauty that Oscar winner Ennio Morricone gave to the world.

Notte Morricone takes place in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative, who alone and dazed in front of his sheets, takes notes and visualizes melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.

«People often ask me what music I listen to, what music inspires or accompanies me in my daily life, and I always respond the same way: from classical music to the new contemporary waves, I draw inspiration from many different sources, and Ennio Morricone is always at the top of the list.

Morricone’s music embodies that abstract sense of what is unspoken and unseen in films. Although it is almost impossible to separate his music from the images it accompanies, Morricone transcends and intertwines with life itself, with memories, and with the beauty and cruelty of a world that continues to move forward, destroying and rebuilding itself every day. His music has a powerful melancholic quality that comes from both the contemplation of the past and the impossibility of capturing any past experience.

Classically trained and avant-garde by vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of the moment. Today, three years after his death, Morricone continues to inspire artists and visionaries from different fields, and his music belongs to an entire century, having revived many of our great masters. His music was a genre unto itself, and for this evening I want to build a universe based on his sensibility to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he would say himself, “my music has a life of its own, which can live far from the films for which it was created.”»

Marcos Morau

Recently appointed Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as the best choreographer of the year 2023 by the German magazine TANZ, the career of Marcos Morau (Valencia 1982) continues to grow as a creator and stage director.

Trained between Barcelona and New York in photography, choreography, and theatrical theory and dramaturgy, Marcos Morau constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe that is constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature.

Since 2004, Marcos has directed La Veronal, a company present in the best theaters and festivals in over thirty countries: Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Venice Biennale, the Avignon Festival, Tanz Im August in Berlin, the RomaEuropa Festival, the SIDance Festival in Seoul, Sadler’s Wells in London, Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.

In addition to his work with La Veronal, Marcos Morau is an international guest artist in various companies and theaters where he develops new creations, always halfway between the performing arts and dance: Nederlands Dans Theater, Lyon Opera Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Royal Danish Ballet, and The Royal Ballet of Flanders, among others.

As the youngest creator to receive the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, the future of Morau and La Veronal aims at exploring new formats and languages where opera, dance, and physical theater interact more than ever, seeking new ways to express and communicate in our ever-turbulent and constantly evolving present time.

From this season, he is an associate artist at Staatsballett Berlin.

“La Veronal is a reminder that dance is often at the forefront of the most innovative theater.” – The New York Times

“Morau’s visual treatment is so brilliant, so vividly strange, that we find ourselves immersed in what turns out to be a story of transmission and emancipation.” – Le Monde

“Morau, one of the most interesting young choreographers on the contemporary dance scene.” – El País

«”I, Ennio Morricone, am dead”, wrote the composer before saying goodbye. His music, on the other hand, cannot. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without leaving us, and this is how memory takes care of keeping them alive, keeping them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world. Ennio Morricone could be my father, or my grandfather, I am a direct heir of his legacy, of the films that (whether masterpieces, good, mediocre, or bad) owe him an immeasurable debt.» – Marcos Morau

Notte Morricone, the new creation of CCN/Aterballetto signed by the award-winning choreographer Marcos Morau, is at the Teatro Sociale di Trento.

Notte Morricone is a devoted tribute by choreographer Marcos Morau to the beauty that Oscar winner Ennio Morricone gave to the world.

Notte Morricone takes place in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative, who alone and dazed in front of his sheets, takes notes and visualizes melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.

«People often ask me what music I listen to, what music inspires or accompanies me in my daily life, and I always respond the same way: from classical music to the new contemporary waves, I draw inspiration from many different sources, and Ennio Morricone is always at the top of the list.

Morricone’s music embodies that abstract sense of what is unspoken and unseen in films. Although it is almost impossible to separate his music from the images it accompanies, Morricone transcends and intertwines with life itself, with memories, and with the beauty and cruelty of a world that continues to move forward, destroying and rebuilding itself every day. His music has a powerful melancholic quality that comes from both the contemplation of the past and the impossibility of capturing any past experience.

Classically trained and avant-garde by vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of the moment. Today, three years after his death, Morricone continues to inspire artists and visionaries from different fields, and his music belongs to an entire century, having revived many of our great masters. His music was a genre unto itself, and for this evening I want to build a universe based on his sensibility to confirm that his legacy is more alive than ever and that, as he would say himself, “my music has a life of its own, which can live far from the films for which it was created.”»

Marcos Morau

Recently appointed Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as the best choreographer of the year 2023 by the German magazine TANZ, the career of Marcos Morau (Valencia 1982) continues to grow as a creator and stage director.

Trained between Barcelona and New York in photography, choreography, and theatrical theory and dramaturgy, Marcos Morau constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe that is constantly nourished by cinema, photography, and literature.

Since 2004, Marcos has directed La Veronal, a company present in the best theaters and festivals in over thirty countries: Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Venice Biennale, the Avignon Festival, Tanz Im August in Berlin, the RomaEuropa Festival, the SIDance Festival in Seoul, Sadler’s Wells in London, Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.

In addition to his work with La Veronal, Marcos Morau is an international guest artist in various companies and theaters where he develops new creations, always halfway between the performing arts and dance: Nederlands Dans Theater, Lyon Opera Ballet, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Royal Danish Ballet, and The Royal Ballet of Flanders, among others.

As the youngest creator to receive the National Dance Award, the highest recognition in Spain, the future of Morau and La Veronal aims at exploring new formats and languages where opera, dance, and physical theater interact more than ever, seeking new ways to express and communicate in our ever-turbulent and constantly evolving present time.

From this season, he is an associate artist at Staatsballett Berlin.

Solo Echo / An Echo, A Wave / Glory Hall

Solo Echo / An Echo, A Wave / Glory Hall

Teatro Regio Parma
15 March H 20.30
, ,

CCN/Aterballetto dances at the Teatro Regio di Parma with a brand new triptych, destined to add new and unexpected nuances to the already eclectic repertoire of the company.

The dancers of CCN/Aterballetto are the protagonists of a production by the multi-award-winning Crystal Pite, a Canadian choreographer now in the pantheon of dance. Solo Echo is inspired by two sonatas for cello and piano by Johannes Brahms and the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo invokes winter, music, and the moving body to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

An echo, a wave by Philippe Kratz, a former Aterballetto dancer and now a choreographer sought after by the most important companies, is a duet inspired by the hypnotic view of the sea and the concept of eternity that inspires us: two people dancing always go through different states of mind, contrasting emotions, closeness, and distance.

The last choreography, Glory Hall, is the new production by Diego Tortelli, which gives the company and the audience a fresco of sensuality and overwhelming vitality.
