NOTTE MORRICONE

Theater Magdeburg / Opernhaus Magdeburg
6 May H 19.30

Aterballetto performs Notte Morricone by Marcos Morau in Magdeburg, Germany.

“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 unfolds in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creative spirit who, alone and dazed before his papers, jots down 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 work that washes over the spectator in waves, embraces them with emotional currents, and captivates them with the memory of timeless melodies that have long outlived the images that first inspired them. Equally enchanting is the finely chiselled, ever-poetic choreography, composed with meticulous attention to detail: legs and necks seem jointless, bending and snapping rhythmically like metronomes.

Aterballetto performs Notte Morricone by Marcos Morau at Teatro Comunale in Sassari on 14 may 2026.

“I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,” the composer wrote before taking his leave. His music, however, cannot die. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without truly leaving us, and how memory takes care of keeping them alive, of keeping them safe.

NOTTE MORRICONE

Teatro Massimo Cagliari
17 May H 19.00

Aterballetto danza Notte Morricone di Marcos Morau al Teatro Massimo di Cagliari il 16 e 17 maggio 2026.

“Io, Ennio Morricone, sono morto”, scrisse il compositore prima di congedarsi. La sua musica, invece, non può farlo. Ed è così che i creatori e gli artisti sempre ci lasciano senza lasciarci, ed è in questo modo che la memoria si preoccupa di tenerli vivi, di tenerli al sicuro. Notte Morricone è il mio regalo, un devoto tributo alla bellezza che ha donato al mondo.
Notte Morricone si svolge nel crepuscolo di una notte ordinaria nella vita di un creativo, che solo e stordito davanti ai suoi fogli, prende appunti e visualizza melodie per film che non esistono ancora, riportando in vita storie nell’aria rarefatta della sua stanza.
Marcos Morau – Regista e coreografo


Impossibile descrivere Notte Morricone, pezzo magistrale che arriva a flutti allo spettatore, lo abbraccia con onde emotive, lo cattura nella memoria di melodie intramontabili sopravvissute di gran lunga alle immagini che le hanno generate. Incantevole pure la coreografia cesellata e sempre poetica, composta con maniacale attenzione al dettaglio: gambe e collo sembrano privi di giunture, si flettono e scattano ritmicamente come metronomi.
Maria Luisa Buzzi – Danza&Danza

Solo Echo / Reconciliatio / Glory Hall

Teatro Comunale L. Pavarotti Modena
22 May H 20.30

Aterballetto performs Solo Echo, Reconciliatio, and Glory Hall at the Teatro Comunale Pavarotti in Modena on 22 May 2026.

The dancers of the CCN/Aterballetto take the stage in a production featuring works by acclaimed choreographers, including the multi-award-winning Crystal Pite, one of the most celebrated figures in contemporary dance. Solo Echo is inspired by two cello and piano sonatas by Johannes Brahms and by the poem “Lines for Winter” by Mark Strand. As in Strand’s poem, Solo Echo invokes winter — through music and movement — to express something essential about acceptance and loss.

Reconciliatio is a delicate female duet inspired by the Book of Revelation, created by one of the world’s leading choreographers, Angelin Preljocaj.

The evening concludes with Glory Hall, a new creation by Diego Tortelli, offering both the company and the audience a vivid fresco of sensuality and irresistible vitality.

Cristiano Buzzi, known professionally as KRIS (1968), is a performer, choreographer, and artistic director. He began his path in dance in 1983, approaching breaking through the influence of films and hip hop culture of that time, and in the following years expanded his research into other styles within the urban scene. Through constant participation in jams, events, and international battles, he established himself as a leading figure in Italian Hip Hop.

Over the course of his career, he has received major recognition, including winning Best Show at the Battle of the Year International in Germany in 2004, as well as numerous national titles and important placements in major European competitions. In 2007, he also received a prestigious award for his contribution to the spread of locking, presented by Greg Campbellock Jr., an original member of The Lockers.

Alongside his competitive career, he developed a solid international path as both performer and judge, taking part in major events within the urban dance scene. He has also collaborated with the television world, working as a choreographer, teacher, and performer on several successful programmes, as well as creating choreography for music productions and video content.

His artistic research also extends to theatre, where he creates choreography for performances and tours, collaborating with companies and musicians and contributing to the dialogue between hip hop and other stage languages. He is also involved in commercial and fashion events, taking on roles in artistic direction and choreography for major brands and large-scale events.

He currently teaches at prestigious dance academies in Bologna and is the artistic director of KC Artist, a company active in entertainment and events. He is also co-founder of The Week, one of the most important events in the Italian hip hop scene.

Cluj opens Aterballetto’s Romanian tour of Notte Morricone.
