Treework (2025-2026)
Treework is a collaboration between the artists of Landmarks and trees in the Østmarka forest close to Oslo, Norway. It is an attempt at opening ourselves to the embodied knowledge that trees have.
The work is based on the assumption that trees are creative beings, expressing themselves in movement and music. Working with the trees we are finding ways of having human performers, perform the songs and movements of trees. In other words, Treework is choreographed and composed by trees – we are merely building a bridge between different kinds of expression.
The performance premiered in June 2025 during Festival Oerol (NL) and celebrated its Norwegian premier in May 2026, the 17th of October 2026 Treework will be shown at Landgoed Zonheuvel in Doorn during the Festival Gaudeamus in Utrecht (NL).
