How alive… how toxic? It’s a paradigm within a living tree. We will travel around the tree and its surroundings by closely observing its texture and colors, looking carefully we could observe the nature, looking for similarities between the micro and the macro.
The performance takes place in a forest, mixing nature, human being and technology. L4R will use a microscope like an extension of their body, creating an intimate and sensitive connection with the forest. Thanks to technology we’ll enter inside the moss, the wood, flowers… We’ll play with the nature’s colors, saturating and adding light, creating new ways in synergy.
