Marcos Morau

Marcos Morau has studied photography, movement, and theatre in Barcelona and New York. His interdisciplinary background is visible in his works – his pieces relying equally on text, scenery, media a light and resulting in a synaesthetic, multimedia dance theatre which the Spanish choreographer has developed into his very own narrative.

In 2005 he founded his artist collective La Veronal, with whom he works as a director, choreographer, dramaturge or a stage, costume or lighting designer, depending on the piece in question. He has also worked for other companies such as the Spanish Compañía Nacional de Danza, the Göteborg Operans Danskompanior the Royal Danish Ballet. He is the youngest ever winner of Spain’s National Dance Award, conferred in recognition of his unique combination of performance, theatre and dance.

Morau also teaches at universities, where he gives classes on his unique dramaturgy. Morau was selected as the best choreographer of the year 2023 by the German magazine Tanz.
