Théâtre d'hiver au Château
"At the Foot of My Tree," an ecological and musical fable about growing up, by the Ephémère Theater Company
Overview
"At the Foot of My Tree" is the story of a friendship between a little boy and a tree.
A musical and poetic story about what nature gives us and what we owe it.
A story about the transition from childhood to adulthood, and the need to preserve our environment for future generations.
A story for young and old alike that unfolds gently.
Today, there are approximately 3,000 billion trees on Earth; every minute, the equivalent of 13 million hectares of forest—or about 40 soccer fields—disappears from the Earth.
Today, there are only 500 trees left in the world for every human being...
“The forest is our home; people are destroying the forest because they don’t realize they’re destroying their own home. When I was a child, the end of the world was very far away; now, it’s getting a little closer every year...”
(Words of a shaman)
