A willow tree, fiery acrobatics and dance feature in this highly-visual family-friendly show.

 

Forests packs a powerful punch, challenging forestry practices, our over-consumption of timber, the destruction of rainforests, and the displacement of indigenous peoples. Performers climb and manipulate the tree, the acrobatic dance sees them throwing, clambering and trampling one another, whilst ropes entangle and bind, before the tree is finally felled amid an explosion of tree-less origami birds. 

​

Forests confronts the systemic racism driving the creation of ‘treeless land’, whilst exposing the futility of losing precious resources for ‘fleeting’ products such as toilet paper. We particularly strive to inspire a young future of courageous, strong young people, particularly girls, as well as inspire finding unique connections with others and thoughtful connections with nature.

​

Forests is a 25 minute outdoor show with both daytime and evening performances available. 

A 50-minute indoor version of Forests will be also played at Edinburgh Fringe 2023. 

 We therefore have three available touring options for this show. 

1. Daytime outdoor (25 minutes)

2. Evening outdoor (fully lit)

3. 50-minute indoor
