Description
Composer Sofia Kamayianni’s new music theatre work invites us to raise our awareness about our connection with nature, and more specifically, trees. It is a one-act children’s chamber opera to a libretto by Giota Vasilakopoulou. Through the tender and moving relationship unfolding between a boy and a tree, the work foregrounds their similarities as entities and reveals the great secrets of the life of trees, above and below the earth’s surface. The enviable system of mutual help and support of trees that has been studied by scientists in the recent years and has led to wondrous discoveries, stands at the opposite end of man’s “uprooting” from their natural environment.
