Mountain Woman

Visceral solo multimedia performance drawing parallels between the cycles of the earth and the human emotional body.

Presented by: Ariel Bittner (Oregon, USA) | with C arts

From: Oregon, USA

This solo multimedia performance celebrates the raw power of creation and destruction embodied by a volcano, as it explores parallels between the cyclical movements of the earth and the emotional landscape of humanity. Through a series of vignettes, a combination of expressive dance, recorded narration, video, music, and scent, immerses 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 cycles of the earth.
