19 July 1985

At 12:22:55 on July 19, 1985, a flow of mud overwhelms the Val di Stava: trees, houses, people, roads are swept away. A catastrophe without salvation. More than 30 years later, the OHT theatre looks at the story as an epiphany/ epiphanic moment of the ambiguous relationship between man and the mountain landscape and celebrates it in an "alpine tragedy". The Continuum Choir/ “Coro Continuum” directed by Maestro Luigi Azzolini, "collective actor" like the tragic choir of classical theatre, accompanies the narration of events with a valuable musical commentary.  After the success of Curon/Graun and one year after the Vaia storm, a powerful moment of reflection dedicated to the delicate balance between man and nature.
