A FONDUE IN THE SNOW

Combining theater, dance and circus, Une fondue dans la neige features three characters from different eras gathered around a fondue: the poet William Wordsworth, who hiked in the Alps in 1790 and 1820; a Fribourg shepherd, seasonal on his mountain pasture in the 1920s; and a geologist, professor at Lausanne University today. Their conversation revolves around the Alps and their geology, the history of the formation of mountain ranges, minerals and stones, and Switzerland's heritage. A story that seeks to unite three different temporalities of humanity, three different centuries, and proposes a journey into the earth's past.
