hollow mountain
A dark musical comedy that follows five friends through an outlandish inner-mountain adventure of demonic possession and gut-extracting contemporary dance.
Choreographed and Directed by Alyssa Martin with new music by Pony Nicole Herauf, hollow mountain is a whimsically gory thriller about navigating the inner rocky territory of our psyches and trying to stay afloat in a world of endings.
