DESCRIPTION:May 19-23\, 2026\nMarcos Morau’s beguiling spectacles may be 
 ubiquitous across Western Europe\, but it is still Switzerland’s moment 
 to gloat. Before the Ballett Zürich gives the ecstatically received Nacht
 träume (Nightmares) a third run since 2022\, the Ballet du Grand Théâtr
 e de Genève will premiere its own Morau. Neither originality nor faddishn
 ess accounts for the high demand. The Spanish director-choreographer bring
 s to mind any number of old auteurs. He’s a messier\, more restless Robe
 rt Wilson\; late Fellini without the camp or the glory\; Almodovar minus t
 he pervasive eroticism\; Buñuel at his most scathing and Dadaist. Indeed\
 , Morau’s method is to borrow\, then displace. Like the original Surreal
 ists\, he sutures together resemblances for a dense dream matrix of allusi
 on and elusion. The performers—sometimes jarringly synchronized\, interm
 ittently jabbering marionettes\; sometimes gluey organisms—are never per
 sonable enough to pull us from blurry déjà vu back to reality. For the G
 eneva commission\, Morau continues his preoccupation with ritual—“thes
 e ornaments that bodies know from previous generations”— by channeling
  an imaginary Bulgaria\, “beneath a starry sky\, on any night of any yea
 r in history.”
