Ventoux

A Contemporary Performance by 2Magpies Theatre

Ventoux is the most fearsome mountain encountered on the Tour de

France.

It is also the story of Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani – whose

drug-fuelled race there in 2000 was the greatest cycling had ever

seen. Ventoux charts the parallel lives of these champions who

overcame great adversity in tandem, and the mountain that cast them in

opposing directions.

20 years on, Ventoux restages the race using breath-taking video

accompaniment and a pair of road bikes, asking the question – how

far will we go to succeed?
