Founded in Alto Adige in 2005, Alps Move is a dance theatre festival that has developed in close relationship with the Alto Adige Dance Collective. Its aim is to host and promote the local contemporary dance and experimental theatre scene with performances in venues throughout the province and the creation of a network that reaches out to other regional, national and European theatre groups and organizations.
Each year Alps Move stages shows and performances created by choreographers and dancers originally from Alto Adige, many of whom now pursue their careers further afield. Regardless of age, all these artists are invited to work on new projects to be performed – and often premiered – back in Alto Adige during the October-November Festival.

performance
Uraufführung/Prima assoluta
Dunst im Körper is an intimate therapeutic dialogue with one's inner self. Starting from changeable, transitory states, the dance to which it gives life expresses our opaque, muddled inner space.
Sarah Merler, born in South Tyrol, studied contemporary dance and ballet at the Music and Arts University (MUK) of the City of Vienna. She has been working as a freelance dancer and choreographer mainly in Austria and Italy and performed in many productions at the Vereinigte Bühnen Bozen. From the season 23/24 she joined the dance company of the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck.

What will remain of me if I seek connection with others? To answer this question, Everything starts from point one sets out from the Strangler Fig Tree, a fascinating case of adaptation and survival strategy in the vegetable kingdom.
