The Magic Mountain
This adaptation replaces the alpine sanatorium with an isolated, multi-apartment building reminiscent of a pandemic lockdown. The staging filters the text through the personal reflections of the ensemble, bypassing traditional ideological debates to focus on physical embodiment, illness, and the elastic perception of unstructured time.
