J’aspire aux Alpes; ainsi naissent les lacs

The greatly awaited return of Mapa Teatro to Lausanne! With a short and condensed play by Händl Klaus, who in 2006 received the award for best playwright in the German language. An «alpine fantasy»: two artificial figures, an imaginary landscape and the desire that hasn't been realised by the other. These figures speak to the wind, no one answers, a landscape in silence, the mountains, the dead... The staging of this cruel dance, grotesque and lyrical at the same time, poetically evoques a violent world drawned under an apparent calm...
