NEVER COMING DOWN!
The Story of Bartolomeo and His Tree
A group of explorers discovers a tiny tree. Tucked between its branches is a forgotten book. Its pages tell a story outside of time: the tale of a boy who climbs a tree and chooses never to come down again.
On stage sits a miniature island: at its center, the rediscovered tree, surrounded by forests, villages, rivers, paths, and seaside towns. These micro-sets, created and animated in plain sight by the actors, give shape to a fragile and detailed world. The actions are filmed in real-time by one or more cameras: the video feed, edited live, is projected onto a large screen in the background.

Is this not, perhaps, what we have left to learn: how to hold together the desire to climb trees and the need to remain on the ground?
