Trained between Valencia, Barcelona and New York in photography, movement and theatre, Marcos Morau (Valencia, 1982) builds imaginary worlds and landscapes with a lucid look towards contemporaneity. Named Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2023 by the French Ministry of Culture and selected as best choreographer of the year 2023 by the prestigious German magazine Tanz, Marcos Morau continues to grow artistically with an extraordinary career as a choreographer and stage director. Since 2004 he has directed La Veronal, which has become one of the most prominent dance companies on the European scene, and in 2013 received the National Dance Prize awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

La Veronal, praised by international critics and winner of numerous awards, has shown its shows in the best theatres and festivals in more than thirty countries: the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris, the Biennale di Venezia, the Festival d'Avignon, Tanz Im August in Berlin, Festival RomaEuropa, SIDance Festival in Seoul, Sadler's Wells in London or Danse Danse Montreal, among many others.

In addition to his continuous work with La Veronal, Marcos Morau is a guest artist in several companies and theatres around the world where he develops new creations, always halfway between performing arts and dance: Nederlands Dans Theater, Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Royal Danish Ballet or the Royal Ballet of Flanders, among many others.

Since 2023, he has been an associate artist at the Staatsballet Berlin, a company linked to the Deutsche Oper, the Komische Oper and the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. The future of Morau and La Veronal pursues the search for new formats and languages where opera, dance and physical theatre dialogue closer than ever, seeking new ways of expressing and communicating in our present time, always turbulent and changing.
