Forests
RoguePlay Theatre (UK)
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 striving to inspire a future of courageous, strong
young people.
