. world ski news : 10 years of HANNIBAL glacier play - 01 Март 2011 - 14:38
Friday, April 15, 2011, 7.30 pm, Rettenbach Glacier, Soelden, Austria

On the Rettenbach Glacier far away from the mainstream a piece of performance art could come up, that is without equal in the world: snow groomers as elephants and Hannibal's trans-alpine expedition as a contemporary choreography.

300 top athletes, pilots, dancers, mountaineers, and a whole village on the run. On April 15, 2011 the co-production by Sölden, Red Bull and Lawine Torrèn celebrates its 10th anniversary with previously unknown light design, an emotionally narrative musical setting, breaking news by karthago-tv, and scenic pyrotechnics, which reanimate the antique legend.

Ernst Lorenzi, the initiator of HANNIBAL, describes the atmosphere on 3,000 meters shortly before the play starts as follows:

"Twilight. 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."

Meanwhile the project HANNIBAL has become a role model for contemporary touristic art, which warily sets today's alpine culture into an ancient mythological context and transposes it with contemporary aesthetics.
