«Sonoma»

Site-spe­cif­ic adap­ta­tion

Nine dancers send the audi­ence on a mys­ti­cal jour­ney. Span­ish chore­o­g­ra­ph­er Mar­cos Morau and his com­pa­ny La Veronal cre­ate fas­ci­nat­ing, large-scale stage works full of sur­re­al images and fan­tas­tic beau­ty. In Sono­ma, Mar­cos Morau sends the audi­ence into a dream world with hyp­not­ic force and pre­cise, fast-paced dance. Dance is mas­ter­ful­ly com­bined with ele­ments of archi­tec­ture and art, with text and music. To the sounds of Debussy and Wag­n­er, the human meets the extra­or­di­nary. In a won­drous micro­cosm inspired by the tra­di­tion­al funer­al pro­ces­sions and reli­gious pro­ces­sions of a bygone Spain, the dancers attempt to cast off the shack­les of the famil­iar, tran­scend bound­aries, and rely sole­ly on their instincts.
La Veronal is more than just a dance com­pa­ny, it’s a true state of mind ded­i­cat­ed to art and cre­ativ­i­ty.
Span­ish chore­o­g­ra­ph­er Mar­cos Morau chore­o­graphs inter­na­tion­al­ly for dance com­pa­nies and has been hon­oured with numer­ous dance awards, includ­ing the Nation­al Dance Award (Spain). He is ‘tanz’ mag­a­zine’s Chore­o­g­ra­ph­er of the Year 2023 and has been an artist in res­i­dence at the Staats­bal­let Berlin since the 2023/24 sea­son.
