An ode to life, and to the trees from our childhood where we climbed, built forts, swung, and earned our first scars.
In a distant, dystopian future, you encounter Trebor (a tree) and Robert (an acrobat). Intertwined, leaning on each other, these two coexist and support each other in an hour-long dance.
At the end, the audience is handed a shovel and they set out together with Robert for a surprising conclusion.
