Single pitch

site specific vertical performance

Single Pitch is the smaller version of Au bout des Doigts. It maintains the essence of the latter but requires minimal installation and logistics.

It is a very light and versatile performance, which is able to reach difficult and remote locations.

Single Pitch is a duet that focuses on the relationship between sport climbing and contemporary dance.

The show is usually performed in daylight; moreover, the music is played by a wireless, battery powered sound system; therefore a connection to the electricity grid is not required at the performance site.

It is a perfect artistic concept for smaller festivals or for events that take place within a natural habitat or remote location.

The moment you start climbing, you realize that the rock has been shaped by wind, water and time for millions of years. And suddenly, as the hand closes on a small ledge, you discover that you are no longer just dancing on the wall, but that with every finger grip, or foot support, the whole history of the earth is dancing around you
