23rd November – 28th February.
Scapino Ballet brings their successful production of Cathedral, an evening with Arvo Pärt back to the theatres across The Netherlands.
Scapino will resume the successful production Cathedral, an evening with Arvo Pärt by Spanish dance and theatre maker Marcos Morau. With a combination of artistic disciplines, special design and an inventive movement language, Morau is one of the most prominent dance artists in the European theatre world. Specially in Theater Rotterdam, Arvo Pärt ‘s music will be performed live by Sinfonia Rotterdam.
Cathedral shows a world in which life is dominated by digital technology and in which people are increasingly losing each other. Morau and his team of artists design a retro-futuristic stage design with props and costumes that seem to come from another world and life-size video projections. With the mystical music of Arvo Pärt as a heartbeat, Morau and the dancers search for what makes us human and what our relationship is with nature.
Cathedral, which premiered in 2019, is one of Scapino’s most innovative productions. Marcos Morau, who previously created Pablo for Scapino in 2016, has been working with the company for years. With his own company La Veronal, he brings internationally acclaimed performances.
Cathedral can be seen exclusively at Scapino and is the first production that the company is releasing under the new artistic director Nanine Linning.
Billed as a wonderful journey into the world of tomorrow and a search for what makes us human. A revival of the successful production by Spanish dance and theater maker Marcos Morau to the meditative music of Arvo Pärt.
With a combination of artistic 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 controlled 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 search for what makes us human and what our relationship is with nature.
Morau and his team of Spanish artists design a retro-futuristic stage design with life-size video projections. In this alienating world, Arvo Pärt’s music offers an oasis of peace. An important part of the design are the theatrical costumes inspired by contemporary fashion. The encounter with a meter-high meteor on stage marks the mysterious beginning of this special dance performance.
