MOUNTAINS OF DESIRE
LUNA PARK / Kosmas Kosmopoulos
Performances
What usually does a person long for? For a better world!
In “Mountains of Desire”, five dancers are on stage for almost one hour sharing their personal stories with each other as well as with the audience. They tell stories about their escapes, moments of upheaval and their big and small longings. They go in search of the mountains of desire. Their memories, diaries, a choreographer, a composer and dramaturge are supporting and guiding this journey. A polar bear has an equally important role sharing its own individual story.
This piece is about the yearning for a better world and all consequences that it might have, such as the displacement, the difficulties during the journey and finally the arrival that no one can guarantee convenience. The process of readjustment in new conditions, envelopes new challenges. For example immigration, which is a regional and international issue. An important and particular element of this piece is the fact that it is not developed and rehearsed separately from its direct environment, but in close and constant exchange with an “art-remote” neighborhood in Berlin-Wedding, often with a migration background, which is characterized above average by poverty, isolation and general hopelessness.
