Meet the artist Marcos Morau in conversation with Fabio Cherstich

Made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture in 2023, and selected as the 2023 best choreographer of the year by prestigious German dance magazine “Tanz”, Marcos Morau continues to develop as a creator and stage director. Having studied photography, choreography and theatre in Barcelona and New York, Marcos Morau now constructs imaginary worlds and landscapes where images, words, movement, music and space constitute a unique universe constantly nourished by cinema, photography and literature. Since 2004 he has directed La Veronal, a company that has appeared at theatres and festivals in over thirty countries, pursuing its search for new formats and modes of expression and communication in the contemporary world.

Director and set designer for theater and opera, Fabio Cherstich has worked in numerous theaters including the Marinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome, and the Opera de Marseille. He is the creator and director of the Operacamion opera-on-the-road project, described by the “New York Times” as a unique project capable of returning opera to its origins. He teaches the aesthetics of theatrical direction at the Scuola d’arte drammatica Paolo Grassi in Milan and at the International University of Languages and Media (IULM) in Milan. Always interested in contemporary art, with a particular focus on the New York underground scene of the '80s and '90s, since 2019, he has been the curator of the Larry Stanton Estate.
