8:00pm - Mountain Woman

"Mountain Woman" is a 30 minute solo multimedia performance celebrating the raw power of creation and destruction embodied by a volcano. This piece explores the parallels between the earth’s cyclical movements and the emotional landscape of humanity. Through a series of vignettes, it combines expressive dance, recorded narration, video, music, and scent, immersing the audience in the essence of an evolving mountain. Performed on a set crafted from recycled and natural materials, "Mountain Woman" showcases the sacred feminine spirit, embodying growth, self-destruction, and balance as a call to reconnect with the earth’s cycles. The set and costuming has been created from recycled materials, trash is a treasure trove.
