Not Every Mountain at Trinity Theatre

Trinity University's Department of Human Communication and Theatre closes its 60th theatrical season with Not Every Mountain, created and presented by Stieren Guest Artists Rude Mechs as part of the Stieren Arts Enrichment Series. Performances run April 23–26 in the Stieren Theater of the Ruth Taylor Theater Building. Admission is free, and seats are limited. Reservations are available at https://tumountain.eventbrite.com.

Not Every Mountain is a mellow meditation on change, permanence and our place in the natural world. It is a presentation of the life cycle of mountains and the processes by which they are born and eventually laid to rest, an invocation of tectonic force and geologic time.

Using string, cardboard and magnets, Not Every Mountain invites us to watch the collective effort of making and unmaking a series of interlocking mountain ranges. We watch minutes, or perhaps centuries, unfold, as mountains rise and fall, clouds dance, birds alight and depart, and a moon delicately hangs overhead. Not Every Mountain features music and sound created using earth's most prominent natural frequency, The Schumann Resonance, and is underscored by a poetic recitation—or perhaps a spiritual incantation.
