MOUNTAIN

U.K. producer Clark and acclaimed choreographer Melanie Lane present an evocative contemporary dance performance.
With the desperate struggle to evolve comes the inevitability of collapse. In order to create, we must also destroy.

U.K. electronic music producer Clark and award-winning choreographer Melanie Lane present MOUNTAIN, an evocative contemporary dance performance with breathtaking costumes by designer Akira Isogawa.

Inhabiting a space between the mythic and manmade worlds, MOUNTAIN is an urgent exploration of tension between the transcendence of conquering unreachable peaks and the terror of descent. Echoing the human struggle to move ‘upwards,’ this sonic and choreographic motion moves within these mysterious landscapes.

Set to a live score of electronics, strings, and piano composed and performed by Clark, alongside the Canberra Symphony Orchestra Chamber Ensemble, dancers Tyrel Dulvarie, Sarah Black, Yolanda Lowatta, and Max Burgess climb, collapse, and take flight. Their movements are carried by music that both threatens and promises a realm beyond our own.
