When the philosopher Francesco Petrarca climbed the French mountain Mont Ventoux in 1336, his account heralded a powerful cultural and historical Renaissance. Inspired by this, the Spanish-Italian company Kor’sia presents the dance piece »Mont Ventoux«, which explores our current society, beset by economic and ecological stressors. The work poses the question of what a new, better future might look like. How can this be achieved? Can humanity and nature reconnect?

On this thrilling evening, nine dancers embark on a dance journey characterised by ascents and descents as well as unexpected encounters.
