The National Choreographic Center/Aterballetto pays tribute to Ennio Morricone with a new production by Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau.

The Spanish artist, with his visionary power and ability to transform musical universes, presents a unique creation that intertwines the music of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone with dance, visual arts, and cinematic inspirations.
Marcos Morau, the youngest choreographer to date to receive the National Dance Award, Spain’s highest honor in dance, constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where image, text, movement, music, and space form a unique universe constantly nurtured by cinema, photography, and literature. Now, for his first collaboration with the CCN/Aterballetto, he has chosen to draw from iconic compositions of the cinematic landscape of the last seventy years: those of Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone.
The director says: “With classical training and an avant-garde vocation, Morricone has always been beyond the trends of his time. His music spans an entire century and has revived the works of many great masters. For this evening, I aim to build a universe based on his sensitivity, confirming that his legacy is more alive than ever, and, as he himself would say, ‘My music has a life of its own, which can live beyond the films for which it was created.'”
