“Before we all get to the knowing, all will be gone.”
– Benjamin Clementine
Morau is known for his visually striking worlds that feel surreal yet human. In earlier creations for NDT, including Folkå (2021) and Horses (2024), he blends abstract movement with dramaturgical detail to create bold images that linger in the imagination.
In his new work, created in collaboration with the NDT 1 dancers, Morau presents a theatrical experience where the evocative music of Benjamin Clementine is part of the atmosphere. Each song opens a door to a world that accelerates, splinters, and watches itself without rest. Loneliness, loss, and the need to belong manifest in the dancers’ bodies, not as private stories, but as something shared.
At its core, this creation reaches for something simple and urgent: closeness.Morau imagines the stage as a shared ritual, holding the belief that, while the music lasts, we can still be together and connect, even when our reality seems to say otherwise.
“We live in an era that moves faster than we can truly take in. And sometimes I feel that, at that speed, something essential slips through our fingers; meaning, attention, the ability to feel without being pulled away. This piece begins there.”
