Experience Cathedral, the critically acclaimed production by Scapino Ballet Rotterdam and visionary choreographer Marcos Morau. Set to the meditative music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, this extraordinary performance invites audiences into a retro-futuristic world where digital technology reigns, disconnecting individuals from each other and the natural world.
Morau, a leading figure in European theatre, merges innovative movement with stunning visual design. The stage comes alive with life-sized video projections and theatrical costumes inspired by contemporary fashion, creating an otherworldly aesthetic. Amidst this alienating environment, Arvo Pärt’s ethereal music becomes a sanctuary, a call to rediscover humanity and our connection to nature.
A highlight of the production is the dramatic encounter with a towering meteor, marking the enigmatic beginning of this visually and emotionally captivating journey.
