Notte Morricone

Gigi Cristoforetti: Artistic Direction
Marcos Morau: Choreography
Ennio Morricone: Music / Maurizio Billi: Arrangement

Ennio Morricone created compositions that are the hidden stars of many films. Scenes gain their soul through them; his melancholic melodies have become icons of music. Marcos Morau sees himself as a fervent admirer of Morricone's work. In his honor, the Spanish choreographer has created a piece with Aterballetto that translates the suggestive power of the music into new images.

Thus, the evening is entirely under the star that has guided Aterballetto under Gigi Cristoforetti since 2017: The company is returning to its roots and is open to choreographies that draw from the most diverse artistic sources. This dialogue between visual arts, music, and theater gives rise to multidisciplinary cooperation projects of unique sensitivity.

The Aterballetto company, with its 16 solo dancers, is considered the leading contemporary dance company in Italy with significant international reach; in June 2022, Aterballetto was named the first "National Choreographic Center of Italy." A wonderful tribute to an ensemble that tirelessly dedicates itself to exploring different aesthetics and urban themes.
