timelapse | marcos morau
in recent years marcos morau and his company la veronal have developed a particular language that has grown throughout all their creations over the years. in timelapse this particular language will be further explored on stage. kova is the name of this form; a fusion of compositional strategies, architectural typologies, diverse and concrete tools, quality patterns, and guided composition and improvisation exercises. kova never starts from an emotional state but is born from forms, drawings, and abstract qualities and from there it investigates possible concrete situations. the sum of all this amalgam of resources brings the audience closer to the genuine world of la veronal. like a painting by francis bacon, marco morau’s language of expression moves at the interface between abstraction and the theatrical: a sum of illogical and inorganic forms that allows to create perfectly controlled characters full of mysteries and contradictions.
