    A landscape becomes a stage. History becomes tangible. The Montafon transforms once again into a stage of a special kind: "Border Experiences on the Magic Mountain" is the new production by the ensemble teatro caprile, which has been creating impressive theatre hikes in the high mountains for more than a decade. At around 1,500 meters above sea level, below the Madrisa, 14 stations and 16 scenes await you, linking nature, contemporary history, and the present in a multi-layered way.

    Led by experienced hiking guides, you set out on an approximately five-hour hike during which you repeatedly immerse yourself in gripping scenes along the way. Theatre, nature experience, and historical discourse merge into a sensuous-intellectual overall experience. In condensed play scenes – so-called “short cuts” – you experience historical fragments, social tensions, and questions that resonate to our time: What does it mean to cross borders – physically, ideologically, personally?

    Further information on the Montafon theatre hike can be found at montafon.at/theaterwanderung

    teatro caprile takes its audience on a journey through time, precisely captured and designed in exciting short cuts that explore the mountains and their magic.
