Marcos Morau
Marcos Morau is known for delving into dark and fascinating themes. With Sonoma, he explores the boundaries between aesthetic beauty and psychological intensity, creating a surreal universe where humanity and vulnerability are expressed through a unique interplay of dance and scenography. As Morau himself says: “Dance is an exploration of humanity’s deepest drives—the primal force that propels us, though we rarely see it clearly.”
