Last season’s hit Past the point returns to the Main Stage, a double-bill with one piece by hip hop trailblazer Botis Seva and the other by Marcos Morau, Tanz’s “Choreographer of the Year” for 2025.
Cold Song
Creation by Marcos Morau
This piece by Spanish choreographer and multi-artist Marcos Morau is wildly entertaining with moments of absurd humor. The title Cold Song refers to the music, which is based on an aria of the same name from Henry Purcell’s opera King Arthur. In Cold Song the dancers take on different characters. The set consists of a mysterious table-like box that hides all sorts of fantastic surprises. Both the dancers and the set are transformed as Cold Song transports the audience somewhere between reality and theatrical magic. Such is the reputation of Marcos and the dance comapny that the piece was booked sight-unseen by several European tour locations even before it had its world premiere in February 2026.
Music in Cold Song
Original music by Ben Meerwein & Alex Röser Vatiché, inspired by Henry Purcell’s “Cold Song”.
Original recording “What power art thou? (Cold song)” from King Arthur, or The British Worthy (1691), Act 3.
