Marcos Morau, one of the leading choreographers in contemporary dance, is known for his ability to deconstruct the traditional dance scene, revealing secret connections, highlighting perspectives and inventing new narrative forms. This is what he will do in Notte Morricone, specially commissioned for the energetic Aterballetto. In a dreamlike and fantastic incursion into Morricone’s work, Morau will draw his own personal portrait of the most popular composer in international cinema. A bewitching collage of sounds will evoke Morricone’s musical world, as well as fragments of his words, blurred images, an alter ego in the form of a puppet, and the hectic comings and goings of characters who act as further refractions of his self. A dizzying and unexpected insight into Ennio Morricone’s life as a man and an artist.
