Notes
The Missing Mountain contains elements, themes and moments danced or dreamed in the companion pieces – Lost Mountain and Caldera. Lost Mountain was created at LaMaMa Experimental Theater and produced by Liz Sargent. It premiered in 2019 with the original cast of Marta Miller, Ariel Freedman, Jesse Kovarsky, Asaf Avidan, Keir GoGwilt, Coleman Itzkoff, YáYa, Evan Copeland, and Or Schraiber. Caldera premiered at CORPUS of the Royal Danish Ballet in 2019 with the original cast of Hazuki Kojima. Alma Toaspern, Alexander Stager, YáYa, and Louella May Hogan. As with the beauty of art and creation, their souls and memories have been imprinted in The Missing Mountain and we would like to say thank you.
