The Man Who Planted Tress 15+
Based on motifs from the story by Jean Giono The Man Who Planted Trees / 65 min
To plant a tree is an eloquent metaphor representing carefulness, patience, perseverance, faith, magnificence, eternity, life. We plant the performance just like the narrator: "... I wish to see the whole world intoxicated with life. I wish to see life bubble up like a torrent and flood all bitter and disheartened people with waves of joy, and hurl pink blood into their faces." A story about the life of a recluse, it talks about nature and invites you for a walk in a forest ─ a walk with yourself.
