About the event
Artocrite Theater “Venaissance”: I am Tree Information
This December, Artocrite Theater premieres I am Tree in The Box at Freespace.
Inspired by South Korean author Han Kang’s prize-winning novel The Vegetarian, and French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau's The Reveries of the Solitary Walker, the production explores the complexity of contemporary relationships through a tale of determination, defiance and self-sacrifice.
Waking from a dream of a tree, a woman decides to stop eating meat. Those around her react in different ways – her husband dismisses her choice as a fad, her nephew views her as a muse for an art project, and her sister blames her for causing family chaos. But does anyone really see or hear her real motivations?
I am Tree is part of the WestK Creators series, with its research and development supported by WestK. This programme is also part of the “Venaissance” project by Artocrite Theater.
