Tree Song

In Tree Song, Eiko & Koma continue their exploration of the body as a part of the landscape and the landscape as an extension of the body. Trees have been symbols of resilience, rebirth and portals through which spirits pass. Tree Song honors the iconography of trees and the primal mysteries of landscape and the human body.

Commissioned by the American Dance Festival, this outdoor work was often performed with a large tree as a backdrop. In New York, at the graveyard of St. Mark's Church, Sharon Dennis Wyeth sung and pianist Georgia Wyeth played her own composition live.
