Conference Of Trees

Description

Hendrick Weber, alias Pantha Du Prince, has stood out for about ten years by showcasing his minimalist creations in the open air and, conversely, by incorporating sounds from nature into his music. With 'The Conference Of Trees', a new stage project created last year in Hamburg, he is found at the head of an ensemble of percussion and instruments made from different kinds of wood, to establish a direct link with the forests that served as his sources of inspiration. While electronics remain his basic medium, here they are put at the service of a pantheistic and poetic ode to the natural elements, accompanied by a dazzling immersive scenography where all the visual, costume, and sound arts are brought together for a good ecological cause. "Without forests, we would not exist as humans on this planet," Weber reminds us.
