A woman is strolling through the forest. She finds a place to stop, in the shade of a benevolent tree. She takes a book from her bag and begins to read with delight. Suddenly, a majestic stag enters the scene. The music quickens, nature stirs. Thus begins a fantastical dance between the woman and the animal…
Aimed at very elderly people, Under the Tree (miniature) is a mirror show to the Under the Tree show for very young children. It explores the same themes: the coexistence of humans and nature, and the contemplation of its beauty. It was created in collaboration with very elderly people and is adapted to the specific needs of this audience.
Short in duration and for a very small audience, Under the tree (miniature) can be performed several times a day, directly in retirement homes. In partnership with a media library, a selection of works related to the show is offered to the public alongside the performances (books, music, films).
