SYNOPSIS
Two actors. A bare stage. A journey into madness. Before the Mountains of Madness brings to life a harrowing Antarctic expedition where the ice hides more than cold- something ancient, something watching, something beyond the mind of man. With the power of storytelling, two actors conjure an entire world of horror. On a stark, empty stage, they transport audiences to the frozen abyss of the Antarctic, where an expedition in the 1920s unravels into a nightmare. What begins as a thrilling quest for knowledge becomes a cosmic mystery and a descent into madness. Stripped down to its rawest theatrical elements, Before the Mountains of Madness is an electrifying fusion of psychological horror and live performance—a tale of friendship, obsession, and the terrifying limits of the fragile human mind.
