glacial theatre

in the twilight of april 24, 2009: the

rettenbach glacier in sölden is preparing to participate as an actor in

the world's probably largest stage play which will start in a few

minutes. surrounded by infinite silence the glacier plunges his white

sides into the icy blue, just to jump as a snow-covered bugaboo out of

an avalanche at hannibal's africans a little later.

directed by

hubert lepka antique myth, people, media and machines will be

interwoven to a popular multi-media play at the rettenbach glacier for

the ninth time now. as unbelievable as hannibal's manoeuvre to traverse

the alps with tens of thousands of warriors and 37 elephants seems, as

unique is the production of lawine torrèn at 3,000 meters above sea level.

a

fulminating and at the same time delicate choreography for snow

groomers, aeroplanes, helicopters, motocross bikes, skidoos, skydivers,

skiers and dancers – all in all more than 300 participants, which are

animating the antique legend in combination with previously unknown

lighting effects, moving music compositions, breaking news by karthago

tv and scenic pyrotechnics.

in this all-encompassing digital world, where the last remains of darkness are denatured by street lights, hannibal is

an atavistic attempt to make first-hand experience of our history, the

conflicting nature of our occidental culture, and the fragility of an

existence that is based on former roman dominance – 3,000m above sea

level, in all weathers and with all senses.

the production's success bases on the reports of yearly 5,000 to 8,000 visitors, that have seen hannibal on the glacier. the producers – sölden, red bull and lawine torrèn

– feel confident that this project could become a kind of everyman of

the alps. be there to see it live! and if you have ever seen it, you

will want to come back!
 
I love understanding things

i bet the majority of the site thinks hannibal is just the name of some creepy guy in a movie
 
Hell yeaah!Me too!
+Sölden is one of the sickest resorts i know! (a lot of gapers but it's a great resort if you're into it, alot of après ski, partying, animation, etc.)
