I finally put together some clips of the performance that took place during the Expanded Tourism workshop in Tenerife a few years back. We ascended the formidable volcano El Teide, starting in the night, walking through the dawn and arriving at the summit before the 9AM cut off time that the site has. Along the way I made a performance, at regular stops, in which I offered beer to the volcano. I was trying to channel the energy of the tourist sites that line the island.
It was a tough performance, in the end. As we got higher up, altitude sickness kicked in and with the fatigue from the climb this made the last push to the summit surprisingly hard work. But the reward was immense. What a view and what a place to savor a well earned beer.
