Beyond Possible
Beyond Possible
Sometimes an idea that you come up with may seem impossible to the rest of the world, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to you. This is the inspiration that Nepali mountaineer, Nimsdai Purja held on his record-breaking journey to climb the fourteen highest mountain peaks in the world. We may not all climb mountains, but we all have to overcome challenging or difficult times in life. The layered meanings and interpretations in this show will help your ensemble relate to the casual audience members as well as the more arstitically-inclined listener. With source music from Coldplay, Shostakovich and Hans Zimmer, this show is packed with exciting moments and visual possibilities!
