The Tree of Light

Despite our hyper connection, we have never been so disconnected. Disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from other livings beings. We need to recreate bonds to live in a society reconciled with those around us. Positive, poetic, and wonderful stories have the power to shake up our imaginations and to gather us around a common vision. The Tree of Light is an ecological tale that brings consciousness about all the living beings that surround us. This immersive sensory experience invites up to 12 participants to take part in the ritual of regeneration of a sacred tree. This ritual will in fact guide them through their own regeneration. The experience takes place in a yurt, or in an adapted room, and enables the participants to lose themselves into a fantastical world for fifteen minutes, thanks to headphones broadcasting a binaural recording (spatialized sound), a luminous tree hung in the centre of the installation (made of paper), and a script that places them at the heart of the story. The Tree of Light is a dreamlike journey, at the crossroads of art, ecology and self care. Sound becomes a scene, a landscape, a story about different life forms, in a society where our representations and our time are dominated by screens, crushing our other senses. By integrating a breathing exercise into the narrative to regenerate the Tree, the work also contributes to the general appeasement of the participants, as if the regeneration of the other also brought self salvation It is a new form of Immersive Art Therapy. The Tree of Light aims to bring hope and the desire to rediscover the magic in this world. It is also an ecological tale for all audiences The Tree of Light is an invitation to reconsider the other forms of life that surround us We have deliberately chosen a light, fantasy tone in order to reach a wide audience young adults, families, people who are sensitive to ecological issues or not at all.
