What: Villa Design Group‘s new three-act dramatic work A Summers Rest (Je T’aime Mont Blanc), will be performed as part of Passing Peaks, the 11th Performance Project of the LISTE Art Fair curated by Eva Birkenstock.

Transforming their familial drama of escape into a conflict between heteronormative privilege of maturation and the queer paranoia of being left behind.
