the mountain of katharsis is a destination open to everyone who is willing to confront their emotions. The duration is individual and undefined. The journey starts by entering the dark forest, climbing steep cliffs, being exposed to rapidly changing climates, contemplating nature and getting lost in the darkness. through narrow openings, the BACKSTAGE are entered and lead to the discovery of A staged environment. The mountain IS A THEATRE where reality is being constructed. Inside, visitors can climb on to the scaffoldings, participate in changing the scenery on the revolving stages. They realise that the mountain is an analogy of the brain, producing chaotic and emotions.
