Timber
Cie Still Life/Sophie Linsmaux & Aurelio Mergola
- Creation
- Visual theater
With Timber*, the Cie Still Life invests the forest as a theatrical playground. A haven outside the mainstream, a wilderness between utopias and nightmares. Today, the forest is under threat, and the soil can crumble away at any time.
*Timber is the warning cry uttered by the lumberjacks before the tree falls.
