📐Stage tilted at 34° — dancers can't stand still
🎵Music by Christian Fennesz remixes Mahler symphonies
⛰️Inspired by Japanese ritual of riding logs down mountains
Nineteen dancers throw themselves at gravity on a stage tilted at a brutal 34° angle. Damien Jalet's hypnotic choreography channels the death-defying Japanese Onbashira festival, where bodies skid, resist, and surrender to forces beyond their control.
Contemporary dance
Visual spectacle
Intense physicality
Avant-garde
