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 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.
