Overview

Comissioned by the BAM Next Wave Festival, we created a gigantic tree with silk and cotton died by tea, dry leaves, and red paint. Our program notes stated, "a tree is wounded by its own memories". We were both completely naked. Set to natural night sounds. Presented with THIRST in their second season at Brooklyn Academy of Music's Next Wave Festival (The BAM Next Wave Festival). 30 minutes. We performed this piece with THIRST at Spiral Hall in 1989, our first Tokyo performances after we left in 1976.
