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.
White Out tells about of a small community that faces an initiatory journey. It speaks of human nature by addressing the themes of death, separation, personal ambition, relationships within a group.
The mountain is a metaphor, the magnifying glass that allows us to take a closer look to human nature. Making decisions, facing difficulties, relying on others, are initiatory steps in the life of each one of us.
The show deals with these matters directly, keeping a straight language, associated with strong charged images, with a touch of humor . For these reasons, White Out received positive feedback from all kinds of audiences, regardless of previous interest in mountain stories.
