When Francesco Petrarca climbed Mont Ventoux in 1336, he wrote a text that was later seen as the beginning of the European Renaissance. Inspired by this passage, the Spanish dance company Kor’sia explores in Mont Ventoux a renewed vision of humanity, a response to the challenges of our time. This hypnotizing choreography, sharply composed within an intriguing scenography, is a physical odyssey for nine dancers, a journey through urban and rural landscapes, driven by unstoppable transformation and unexpected encounters. A visual and kinetic spectacle that balances between reality and surrealism.
