Traidesch is a film that portrays the symbiosis of dance and architecture, set in the beautiful mountain scenery of the Sesvenna Alps in eastern Switzerland. The design and dance duo invites us to explore the “House to watch the sunset” by Not Vital through music and movement. "Traidesch”, meaning 13 in one of Switzerland’s spoken languages “Romansh”, explains the extraterrestrial perspectives and emotions of conspiracy and superstition based on the dimensions of 13. The movement is not only inspired by the surrounding nature but also through the geometric forms and shapes of of the artwork.
