Tree stories <\/i>\u00a0is a interdisciplinary and multifaceted in progress project inspired by the timeless poetry and mystical power of raw nature embodied by the tree in a time where Man is continuing to destroy the natural environment as well as himself in a blind infernal suicidal race. The tree in general is a strong symbol (of the cosmos, of life, of force…), and each tree in particular is a more specific symbol (the oak symbolizes majesty, the alder humility, etc) which can vary depending on the cultures and mythologies.<\/p>\n
How can we relate to them and learn from them? How can we better understand them and benefit from their silent universal stories? These are a few questions that irrigate this ongoing creative process.<\/p>\n
This performance (1st phase of the Tree Stories project) is experiencing the personification of trees, through the movement of the performers and sound, talking about the embodiment of different times and signs in nature and the constantly changing, adapting, the life-giving world of trees.<\/p>\n
The Tree Stories performance features pluridisciplinary – movements, poetry, sounds (and images too for a future installation\/video project)\u00a0 –\u00a0 material created by the 3 associated artists\u00a0 Kotryna \u017dilinskait\u0117 (LT), Hasan Alp Celikel (TK), Paradise Now (BE\/FR) at the “Verpej\u0173” residence<\/a> (totally disconnected from urban parasites in the forest of South Lithuania) in August 2022.<\/p>\n Performance\/dance – Kotryna \u017dilinskait\u0117, Hasan Alp Celikel [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Tree Stories poem – The tree of Kotryna” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n You are lying on the bed You write for his highness King Tree that looks at you You capture the waves of the forest gods You are with them, in them, through them Philippe Franck [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/pepinieres.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tree_stories-Performance-Kotryna_Zilinskaite-Hasal_Alp_Celikel-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2022-1.jpg” title_text=”Tree_stories-Performance-Kotryna_Zilinskaite-Hasal_Alp_Celikel-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2022-1″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/pepinieres.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Tree_stories-Performance-Kotryna_Zilinskaite-Hasal_Alp_Celikel-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2022-2.jpg” title_text=”Tree_stories-Performance-Kotryna_Zilinskaite-Hasal_Alp_Celikel-Pepinieres_Europeenes_de_Creation-Transcultures-2022-2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_class=”post-txt artistTextBloc” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Interdisciplinary artist who combines theatre, contemporary and butoh dance, and sound performances.

Sound creation – Paradise Now
Poetry – Kotryna \u017dilinskait\u0117, Philippe Franck<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
in the house of possibilities<\/p>\n
from the height of its centuries of undisputed reign<\/p>\n
You dance with their shadows
You invite angels and genies
in the flight of your aspirations
to the senses, essences, essential<\/p>\n
You are the flaming leaf
of this Master Lime
who knows where the wind comes from
You are the edge of the sacred forest
you are fully<\/p>\n
