A Fantasy

Marcos Morau and La Veronal, a dance company of great international scope and prestige, explore Mercè Rodoreda’s dark imaginary to construct an allegory about creative freedom, social commitment, and art as salvation and refuge.

La mort i la primavera is Rodoreda’s unfinished novel both dark and beautiful, enigmatic and universal, rebellious and fatalistic, with a universe between the human and the sacred, the spiritual and the animal. A piece that expresses sadness and anger, but also resistance. Rodoreda wrote the work in the early 1960s when she was in exile, and it is thought to be a condemnation of totalitarianism and Rodoreda’s experience with nazism during WWII.

La mort i la primavera will open the season at the TNC after its premiere at the Biennale Danza in Venice.
