MEDIATHEK

Sometimes, history can change in the course of a hike. The ascent of Mont Ventoux by the Italian scholar and poet Francesco Petrarch in 1336 is commonly considered the beginning of the European Renaissance. Inspired by his text, KOR’SIA set out for a journey in search for a renewed conception of humanity that meets the challenges of our time. Another future dawns on the other side of the huge glass wall that separates the stage – but how do we get there? “MONT VENTOUX” is a virtuosic epic for nine dancers, a traversal of countless urban and rural sceneries, a tireless effort towards transformation, and an encounter with unexpected bizarre beings.

// DEUTSCH //

Auch eine Wanderung kann die Geschichte verändern: Die Besteigung des Mont Ventoux durch den Dichter Francesco Petrarca gilt als Geburtsstunde der europäischen Renaissance. Inspiriert von seinem Bericht, begibt sich das Kollektiv KOR’SIA auf die Suche nach einem neuen Menschenbild, das den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit gewachsen ist. Hinter einer riesigen Glaswand, die die Bühne durchtrennt, zeichnet sich bereits eine neue Zukunft ab. Wie aber können wir sie erreichen? “MONT VENTOUX” ist ein virtuoses Tanz-Epos, eine Reise durch verschiedenste Örtlichkeiten, ein beharrliches Streben nach Veränderung und eine Begegnung mit bizarren Wesen.
