When the Mountain Changed its Clothing

Overview

The Melbourne Festival is certainly living up to its big reputation with this one. Flying in 40 young singers from the Vocal Theatre Carmina Slovenica, When the Mountain Changed its Clothing is an epic international show which defies categorisation. Under the direction of legendary director and composer Heiner Goebbels, the show combines storytelling, dance, and song as it examines the transition from childhood to adulthood. Utilising texts from intellectual greats like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Gertrude Stein and Marina Abramovic, the work is incredibly far from conventional theatre. With just four performances scheduled in this first Australian run, we suggest you jump on tickets now. This is a curious piece people will be keen to figure out.

This event was chosen as one of our top ten things to see at the Melbourne Festival 2014. See the full list here.
