Scapino Ballet Rotterdam

Life-size video projections

Cathedral shows a world in which life is dominated by digital technologies and in which people 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, the music of Arvo Pärt offers an oasis of calm. An important part of the design is the theatrical and contemporary fashion-inspired costumes. The encounter with a metre-high meteor on stage forms the mysterious beginning of this special dance performance. The performance includes a discussion and online programme booklet .
