HESSISCHES STAATSBALLET / MARCOS MORAU

A large ensemble gathers around a long table on stage. Above the scene hangs a circular chandelier filled with glowing spherical lights. Two people meet at the center while haze drifts across the background.
A tightly grouped ensemble stands beneath a large suspended lighting structure. Several performers raise glowing spheres while the remaining bodies merge into a single collective formation.
Several performers in dark suits move around a central stage platform. Costume elements conceal the heads, creating unusual silhouettes. Above them hangs a large lighting structure made of glowing spheres and metal frames.
A large ensemble sits on chairs spread across the stage. Above the group hangs a multi-tiered lighting structure with glowing spherical lamps. The symmetrical arrangement creates a calm and architectural visual composition.
A person wearing sparkling clothing, elaborate jewelry and a decorative headpiece stands at the center of a stage scene. Numerous sheep figures surround the central figure from different directions.

Synopsis

Nachtträume ("Night Dreams") by acclaimed Spanish choreographer Marcos Morau is both a choreographic panorama and a dark, all-encompassing work of art. It presents a hauntingly beautiful dream world in which power, powerlessness, and unquestioning obedience collide: a stirring 90-minute journey through the abysses and hopes of our contemporary world. Drawing on Kurt Jooss’s iconic anti-war dance drama created in 1932 Der Grüne Tisch (The Green Table), Morau interweaves historical references with quotations from masterpieces by Maurice Béjart, including Boléro and Le Sacre du Printemps. In this revival by the Hessian State Ballet, the stage becomes a labyrinth of round tables, chairs, red sun-like spheres, and intertwining bodies, where destruction and seduction, threat and sensuality exist side by side.

Marcos Morau is the founder of the Barcelona-based company La Veronal. With his powerful, interdisciplinary works he is regarded as a visionary and leading voice in contemporary dance.
