When Morricone's sound worlds become movement

On May 13, 2027, the Stadttheater Fürth transforms into a nighttime resonance space for music, dance, and film. With Notte Morricone, the Centro Coreografico Nazionale/Aterballetto presents a production of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza dedicated to the Oscar-winning composer Ennio Morricone.

A choreography between cinema and memory

The Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau combines Morricone's iconic film music with contemporary dance, visual art, and a distinctly cinematic dramaturgy. Sixteen dancers appear as alter egos of the composer, as cinema goers, and as figures from an imaginary film world. Past and present meet in a stage experience that does not narrate memories but makes them physically visible.

The stage set as a living thought space

A gray wall full of sketches and notes serves as the starting point for the production. Throughout the choreography, it transforms into Morricone's house, a recording studio, or a cinema hall. Sheet music, metronomes, rolling chairs, and oversized spotlights become scenic partners of the dancers. Even puppets with Morricone's facial features expand the stage space with a mysterious, slightly surreal dimension.

Music, light, and the art of the body

Marcos Morau's directing and movement language consistently thinks of dance theater as an interplay of body, space, light, and sound. Morricone's music does not merely serve an illustrative function: it becomes the dramatic motor of a journey through the night and the thought world of a creative person. The theater atmosphere arises from changing light moods, precise movement images, and the contrast between cinematic grandeur and personal memory.

Aterballetto at the Stadttheater Fürth

The Centro Coreografico Nazionale/Aterballetto, founded in 2022, evolved from the Compagnie Aterballetto, which was established in 1977 and is regarded as Italy's first national choreography center. Fürth thus experiences an internationally profile dance production that connects contemporary stage art with the emotional power of one of the most influential film composers of the 20th century.

Conclusion: An evening like a moving film

Notte Morricone promises an intense stage experience for all who wish to experience dance, music, and visual storytelling in an unusual connection. Between music stands, cinema images, and nighttime dreams, a production arises that does not preserve Morricone's sound world in a museum-like manner but choreographs it anew. Secure your tickets and experience this extraordinary dance theater production live at the Stadttheater Fürth.
