Vertiges

At La Parfumerie, “VERTIGES” by Catherine Tinivella Aeschimann takes us to the base of the Eiger’s north face, where five tourists follow the climb of mountaineer Ueli Steck. Turning simple observation into an intense immersion, they experience the emotions of Steck and his partner. This piece, a blend of sports commentary and alpine storytelling, delves into our connection with achievement and performance, while also recalling the ghosts of the Eiger’s victims. Directed by Tamara Fischer, this show offers a communal and introspective experience.
