A tribute to the great composer, author of unforgettable soundtracks, with “Notte Morricone,” a creation by choreographer Marcos Morau based on music by the maestro, for a visionary narrative told through paintings inspired by the artist's life and work.
A Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto production, on the bill this evening at 8.30 pm at the Teatro Comunale in Sassari , Saturday at 8.30 pm (series A) and Sunday at 7 pm (series B) at the Teatro Massimo in Cagliari (where it is part of the Teatro No Limits project, designed to offer a more complete experience of the show to blind and visually impaired people, through a behind-the-scenes tour and audio description) for the 2025-2026 Season of La Grande Danza by Cedac Sardegna.
“Notte Morricone” describes a restless night, in an intriguing game of mirrors on the border between reality and dream, where the maestro continues to imagine, write, conduct, try out new themes and new effects, and from which emerges a constant search for inspiration, the desire not to repeat himself and to always invent something new, original and meaningful, composing music capable of “giving meaning to the part we are missing, to the area of life that is not clearly seen, to the things that are left unsaid”: a choreographic work that conveys the complexity of the artist's work , where technique and talent merge in the creation of an evocative score, to highlight the events narrated on the screen, recreating an atmosphere and underlining crucial moments.
The spotlight is on dancers and performers Ana Patrícia Alves Tavares, Elias Boersma, Estelle Bovay, Emiliana Campo, Albert Carol Perdiguer, Luigi Civitarese, Leonardo Farina, Matteo Fiorani, Matteo Fogli, Arianna Ganassi, Arianna Kob, Gador Lago Benito, Federica Lamonaca, Giovanni Leone, Gaia Mentoglio, and Nolan Millioud, with direction and musical adaptation by Maurizio Billi and sound design by Alex Röser Vatiché and Ben Meerwein, texts by Carmina S. Belda, sets and lighting by Marc Salicrù, and costumes by Silvia Delagneau, with assistant choreographers Shay Partush and Marina Rodríguez. The focus is on the artist at work, in his home transformed into a studio, auditorium, set, and recording studio where the maestro can unleash his imagination but also symbolically retrace his life, from youthful aspirations to success, to the tune of some of his most emblematic and captivating works, imprinted in the collective memory.
