Mountaineers: Words in Concert

Mountaineers: Words in Concert is an original show conceived and performed by Natalia Ratti, musician and mountain enthusiast.

This concert for reciting voice and piano combines storytelling, poetry and music to pay tribute to five great mountaineers: Wanda Rutkiewicz, Alison Hargreaves, Catherine Destivelle, Nives Meroi and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner. Each of them corresponds to a narrative chapter enriched by pieces by classical composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov and Grieg, performed live on the piano. 

Through original texts and poetic pieces each of these extraordinary female figures takes voice. The tone used - at first whispered, then intense - becomes a musical instrument that dialogues with sounds, noises, atmospheres. 

The performance is distinguished by the absence of special effects or elaborate sets, focusing instead on an intimate and engaging experience. Words and music are interwoven to tell the stories of these mountaineers, exploring themes such as loneliness, fatigue, beauty and courage. The result is a narrative concert that, with an essential but engaging style, renders a dimension that reaches straight to the viewer.
