No Dutch Required

With a combination of art disciplines, special design and an inventive movement language, Morau is one of the most prominent dance artists in the European theater world. Cathedral shows a world in which life is governed by digital techniques and in which we are increasingly losing each other. With the mystical music of Arvo Pärt as a heartbeat, Morau and the dancers go looking for what makes us human and what our relationship is with nature. Morau and his team of Spanish artists are designing a retro-futuristic theater image with life-sized video projections.

In this alienating world, the music of Arvo Pärt offers an oasis of peace. An important part of the design are the theatrical and contemporary fashion -inspired costumes. The meeting with a meter -high meteor on stage is the enigmatic start of this special dance performance.

The press about Cathedral, an Evening with Arvo Pärt:
“Dance of rising star Marcos Morau to music from Arvo Pärt: a wonderful combination that turns out powerful. Cathedral is a penetrating and icy consistent choreography. Morau creates a bizarre, futuristic world without logic but with fantasy. ”Cathedral is reminiscent of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick" on several fronts. "  (...) It is so incredibly beautiful. "
