In between airports, from a crowded transit zone to a confined aeroplane cabin, a man is trying to keep his loneliness at bay. Lost in exhilaration and confusion, as he moves from one place to the next, space and time are blurred; he dreams of a new start. But as he steps forward on his quest, he realises that things might not turn out the way he expected. A physically impressive, poetic and beautiful spectacle from Belgium’s premiere physical theatre company.

I AM A TREE – JAMIE WOOD (UK)
EDINBURGH PREVIEW
£14/12 – The City of Liverpool College – The Arts Centre
When I am still for any length of time, someone finds me and tells me about their life.
My girlfriend says this makes me like a tree that all dogs want to p*ss up.
Slow man tree.
My Granddad taught me how to listen, and one other valuable lesson.
But I can’t remember what the second lesson was. There’s a blank.
So this year I walked back to where he was born to try to find out – a homemade pilgrimage, a return to roots, slow motion time travel.
The show will be something else entirely.
Still living a dream.
