Tree death and climate change are on everyone's lips - but the forest and the diversity of tree species have always preoccupied people in very different ways. In the "Baumschule Kulturforum" we take you back to distant times when there were "sacred groves" and man seemed to be closer to nature than he is today. Texts will be read by Hans Christian Andersen, Gottfried Keller, Erich Kästner, Günter Eich, Bertolt Brecht and the French writer Jean Giono. The flute and piano provide musical accompaniment through the mysterious world of trees.
Performers:
Antje Schneider, narrator
Simon Weinert, narrator
Angela Maria Stoll, piano
Bettina Bergmann, flute
Venue: Baumschule Kulturforum, Johanna-und-Eduard-Arnhold-Platz/Matthäikirchplatz, 10785 Berlin
