78th edition From 29 June to 21 July
Argentina / Created in 2024
In the same way that one climbs a mountain, humans come to face the meaning of their existence in stages. When a high-level mountaineer meets his silver-screen counterpart, reality and fiction collide.
The content of this page
Jean Vidal, a mountain climber nearing the end of his career, decides one day to undertake the ascent of Annapurna in Nepal, where his father died some 30 years before. His story is adapted for the cinema. From there, Mariano Pensotti intertwines levels of fiction through the monologues of Vidal and Roux, the actor chosen to play his role and who himself speaks of his own father. Shooting a movie and climbing a mountain become two sides of human existence. The director, filmmaker, and founder of Grupa Marea likes grand epic narratives, where intimate stories echo each other and collide to unveil entire chapters of a forgotten history: like a mountain which, when the ice thaws, brings the bodies of the missing to the surface.
El ser humano se enfrenta al sentido de su existencia por etapas, como cuando se asciende una montaña. Cuando un alpinista de alto nivel conoce a su doble en el cine, realidad y ficción se rozan.
Pièce commune is a programme that aims to create a pocket repertoire for artists whose work is regularly showcased on major European stages. Every year, at the invitation of the Festival d’Avignon and the Wiener Festwochen (Vienna, Austria), one artist creates a play destined to tour throughout Europe and to be performed in very different spaces
