Le Surréalisme au service de la Révolution

Marcos Morau wants to present the world which surrounds him as a reflection of his own interior universe, with his collective La Veronal, based in Barcelona, with artists working in dance, film, photography and literature.In the last ten years he has become one of the outstanding artists on the European choreographic scene, receiving in 2013 the National Prize for the best Spanish choreographer.In this new work Marcos Morau will be inspired by the principal Surrealist artists, in particular Luis Buñuel. Buñuel ‘s use of dreams, his political and critical thinking, his cultural environment, and especially his love for the drum, an instrument used extensively in the folklore of his native region, Lower Aragón – will all be part of the influences in this piece. The drum will be part of a system of communication in which diversity becomes community, an instrument which according to Buñuel “makes the ground shake under our feet” and may become a phenomenon which may drive a revolution.
