A wander at dusk through our forest, under the night sky, where, all around you, the interaction between trees and people comes to life. A journey from the canopy-head to the roots-feet.
The child climbing trees, bark-like imprints, upside-down forests to look at the world, leaf faces... A gallery of portraits of trees and people to tell the story of this encounter, to show its poetry and fragile equilibrium.
A dreamlike, immersive and sensitive experience, D'Arbre en Arbre takes us on a cinematic and musical journey by the light of the flame, between painting, video projection and dreamy, curious machinery.
D'Arbre en Arbre unfolds over an extended space and can embrace different geographies of places. Tree-covered spaces or not, we want our forest to emerge in all types of spaces.
The 800 to 1,000 spectators are an integral part of this cinematic universe, immersed in the scenography and in direct proximity to all the elements that compose it. In this forest, everyone traces their own path, free to move around.
