Dynamic, nature-immersive performance about legends and female woodland spirits Shinrin is a live, dynamic, visionary, dreamlike and fantasy performance with a high emotional, immersive and sensorial impact. It is the trees, as co-star actors, that, touched, struck, embraced, bring forth the direct voices (recorded by actresses) of these mythical female figures, their ancient stories of frost, snow, mystery, love, friendship, as handed down through the centuries, from forest to forest. The original music is inspired by the origin of the tales/legends narrated, with elements of ethnic folk but also with contemporary, rarefied and fairy-tale sounds. All immersed in an evocative sound design (ancestral, deep, immersive and natural forest sounds) and live ambient recordings. In this environment, headphones amplify the effect of ‘getting lost’ in the forest and the story along the path.
