Mountains is a physical meditation on time, memory, and existence, where the body isn’t merely a performer but a site of excavation. Without spoken words, it articulates the poetry of existence, where movement becomes an act of remembering, forgetting, and reimagining.
The performance unfolds as a journey of embodiment, where the body functions as a living archive—carrying, erasing, and reconstructing traces of experience. Like landscapes shaped by time, the body is in constant flux—weathered by experience, yet always forming something new. Each chapter leaves an imprint, embodying the impermanence of all things, the tension between the material and the ephemeral, the struggle to hold onto something that inevitably shifts.
Mountains is a ritual of presence, where performer and audience engage in an act of witnessing: a moment suspended in time, where the body, like a shifting landscape, carries the echoes of what was and the potential of what can be.
Mountains takes place during the 53rd International Theatre Festival—Biennale Teatro 2025 in Venice. It is supported by NEON through its annual Grants Programme.
