“The Mountain of Absurdism” is a collaborative performance that bridges between a fictional ceremony and a dinner party, exploring the collective experience of a non-religious holiday. The performance is a climb. Masked performers guide the spectators through several base camps or scenes, each with their own trails and scenarios. Finding themselves at a slanted table they climb to their seats for a very unconventional dining experience. Slanted til the top guests are nearly with their heads on the ceiling. With every course served comes a performative act presented by the hosts. The distinction between performer and spectator becomes questioned by the tribune-like table structure which turn the focus on the guests that are watched by the hosts below them.
