Inside a kitchen cabinet lies the complex geology of a Mountain, from its highest peak to its deepest crevice. Atop, around and inside this mountain we follow the fictional meeting of Walt Disney and 19th century forgotten female explorer Annie Smith Peck. Driven by ideas of representation, authenticity and the fake “There’s a Strange Wind Blowing” examines the space between illusion and reality whilst exposing process. Does the audience choose to suspend their disbelief even though the puppeteers are in full view? Or do they choose to focus on the mechanics of illusion and wish fulfilment being laid bare before them? Inspired by the urban myth that Disney was cryogenically frozen after his death, the show unfolds to tell the tale of two people obsessed with time, self–preservation and man’s pursuit to conquer nature.
