Cirque Danse Mountaineering

White out is a tribute to all the climbers who have disappeared, or embrace that kind of risk, in the endless white of high mountains: The conquerors of the useless.

The show is an ironic and dramatic journey, fun, engaging, not only through the natural landscape evoked on stage, but through human interiority itself.

    The highest ambition of this show is to transform mountaineering into an artistic language.
    To create a choreographic experience and a visual syntesis in such a strong way, that the vastity of the mountain could be transported inside of a theatre, so the audience could really feel the cold, the snow, the storms, on a rocky vertical cliffs.
