Glitch Softcore – Sensory hike to the Gletscherseeli
A hike (in collaboration) by Jamuna Mirjam Zweifel, Maureen Zollinger and Charlotte Mathiessen

Hike together to the Gletscherseeli (also known as Griesssee) above the Klausen Pass and explore your relationship to this vanishing landscape.

Glitch Softcore – Sensory Hike to the Gletscherseeli is a shared hike in which you experience the landscape with all your senses. At its center is the relationship to the shrinking glaciers. Along the way, quiet moments emerge: walking slowly, echoing the shapes and movements of the landscape, picking up sounds and gestures from the surroundings.

Jamuna Mirjam Zweifel shares exercises from her current artistic research for the stage piece Glitch Softcore during the hike. She is accompanied by dancer Maureen Zollinger and dramaturge Charlotte Mathiessen. The glacier stays in view throughout the hike – whether it’s still there, currently disappearing, or already gone.
