Scapino Ballet Rotterdam presents the successful production Cathedral, an evening with Arvo Pärt by Spanish dance and theater maker Marcos Morau.

The combination of artistic disciplines, extraordinary design and inventive movement language makes Morau one of the leading dance artists in European theater. Cathedral depicts a world where life is dominated by digital technologies and where we are increasingly in danger of losing each other. Using the mystical music of Arvo Pärt as a heartbeat, Morau and the dancers explore what makes us human and our relationship with nature. The encounter with a metre-high meteor on stage marks the enigmatic beginning of this extraordinary dance performance.

‘With their bodies completely fragmented, Scapino's twelve dancers move virtuosically.’
