Theatre Tower on the Julier Pass
- Emilia Margaretha
At a height of 2,300 m above sea level in the rugged mountain landscape of the Julier Pass in the Grisons, Switzerland, this red-painted tower looks like a surreal, out-of-scale photomontage. Giovanni Netzer, the founder and artistic director of the Origen Cultural Festival, sees the structure he conceived as a built stage set, which will nevertheless be removed in 2020. Netzer's musical and dance theatre will be performed here throughout the year, with a programme that thematically reflects the various seasons. In this way, the mountain panorama, visible through the tall arched windows, becomes an integral part of the stage scenery.
