Aterballetto performs Notte Morricone by Marcos Morau at the International Dance Festival of Tirana, directed by Angelin Preljocaj.

“I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,” wrote the composer before taking his leave. His music, however, cannot die. This is how creators and artists always leave us without ever truly leaving, and how memory takes care to keep them alive, to keep them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world.
Notte Morricone takes place in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative mind, who, alone and dazed before his sheets of paper, takes notes and envisions melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.
Marcos Morau – Director and Choreographer

It is impossible to describe Notte Morricone, a masterful piece that arrives in waves to the spectator, envelops them with emotional currents, and captures them through the memory of timeless melodies that have long outlived the images that first generated them. Equally enchanting is the finely crafted, ever-poetic choreography, composed with meticulous attention to detail: legs and necks seem jointless, bending and snapping rhythmically like metronomes.
