THE TREE

Duration 1H10

Type
Contemporary dance

Audience
All audiences (from age 8)

The Tree, the choreographer's last major creation for her company, is a powerful and vital expression of love for a nature on the brink of collapse, with the hope of rebirth in the manner of the Phoenix rising from its ashes.

After eau, Pneuma and Now, Carolyn Carlson completes the cycle of pieces inspired by Gaston Bachelard.

‘We are not external to the Universe; we are seeds evolving in cycles and rhythms, like the changing seasons that govern each creation. Carolyn Carlson
