Our connective tissue permeates our entire body. It is our largest sensory organ and emotional memory. What happens when we use the connective tissue to connect with a tree by somatically tracing it in the connective tissue of our body? In a performance, David Brandstätter, Lyllie Rouviere and Michiasu Furutani will create a cartography of the interaction of branches, leaves and fruits with their own bodies (#8), let themselves be choreographed by the wind (#1) and dance their discoveries to us from different angles (#2).

In cooperation with the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin
The performance begins in the "Baumschule Kulturforum" and "wanders" to the neighboring Kunstgewerbemuseum, where the event merges into the opening of the special exhibition "Symbiotic Wood" and the newly designed garden in the small inner courtyard.
The "Baumschule Kulturforum" is a project of the St. Matthäus Foundation in cooperation with the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, the Neue Nationalgalerie and the Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation, under the artistic direction of Klaus Biesenbach, Director of the Neue Nationalgalerie, and the landscape architects from atelier le balto.
The project is funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
