In Mountains Never Meet, Martin del Amo joins forces with footballer turned performer Ahilan Ratnamohan. Together they collaborated with eight untrained male performers from Western Sydney in creating an energetic new dance work.

Using movements inspired by sport such as running, skipping and jumping, the work playfully challenges our notions of what dance can be, and of who can be considered a dancer.
Mountains Never Meet was accompanied by a new short work choreographed by del Amo and danced by Ahilan Ratnamohan and Connor van Vuuren. The duet took its choreographic inspiration from memorable sporting battles, reflecting their inspired physicality and tactical brilliance.
