On November 5th, 1768, a meteorite falls with a roar from the darkened sky above Mauerkirchen. The farmer's wife Apollonia Bart finds it the next day. DOWNFALL first invites guests to the experimental site of Lawine Torrèn in Moosdorf to observe a stone weighing tons in its fall. The seismic shaking will be joined as a floor choreography to a film. The performative presentation including the rock takes place at SZENE Salzburg.

We see a body in a constant loop of falling, an expression of the many times and ways we fall in life. This body overcomes disturbances by resisting gravity, while also bearing witness to the realisation that sometimes, to get back on our feet, we need to let go.
