THE MOUNTAIN BODY (Helle Siljeholm, dance / performance)

Welcome to an experience completely out of the ordinary!
The Mountain Body is an interdisciplinary project by choreographer and visual artist Helle Siljeholm who in collaboration with various actors in and outside the art field investigates how the mountain both visible and invisible affects, and is influenced by the surrounding community, through anthropocentric age, but also in light of geological time (depth). The mountain is the starting point for various studies around our view of nature, as well as the ongoing new thinking about the relationship between nature and culture in light of today’s climate and environmental challenges.
In The Mountain Body, the mountain is both different processes, body and poetic material that creates connections where living and non-living material are included. Over several years, a series of major context-specific choreographic and sculptural installation work will be created in and with different mountains, which together and over time form a «mountain chain».
The «mountain range» will begin in Norway in the autumn of 2021. The complex geological area Kolsåsstupene was the first stop. During the Autumn Scene, it is Norangsdalen, one of Norway’s most beautiful and narrowest valleys, where the mountain encloses man, practical, historical, physical, metaphorical and spiritual, which gets its own «climbing sculpture» in unique natural surroundings.
The Mountain Body is based on a previous project by Helle Siljeholm, «Sheet music on stone and other social landscapes» developed and implemented in Ålesund 2017.
It is recommended to bring binoculars, seat pads and warm clothing.
The event itself is free.
