The premiere of the full-length piece “Mono no aware | 物の哀れ | The knowledge of the end is bittersweet”, which Maura created for TANZ_KASSEL at the Staatstheater Kassel, was enthusiastically received by the audience and celebrated with a standing ovation in the packed Schauspielhaus.

The Ballettgeselschaft Hannover e.V. described the evening as follows:
For me, tonight was a truly memorable moment: the exceptional artist MAURA MORALES with a magnificent choreography, danced with great power, intensity and dynamism by this ever-improving TANZ_KASSEL company under the direction of THORSTEN TEUBL. The music by MICHIO WOIRGARDT, which resonated through every fibre of my being, played its part in allowing me to experience this piece with all my senses
