The Path To Cold Mountain

26,27 June 7.30pm 28 June 3.00pm
Dovercourt Central Church, Harwich

The Path to Cold Mountain

Inspired by the works of the ancient Chinese poet Han Shan. This production is a series of poems written by Phil Knight and performed using dance and movement to a haunting musical score provided by musician Mike Gosling and percussionist Karl Thomas.

The poems explore the role of the mystic artist and prophet in a civilisation seemingly bent on its own demise.

Is the amazing fact that humans are conscious beings actually why we are also so destructive? Is The Path To Cold Mountain a solution or a mirage?
