Let’s regard the yew tree, an evergreen. It sounds like ›you‹! Yew was used to build bows for shooting. ›YEW‹, the dance piece by Angela Schubot and Jared Gradinger, on the other hand, deals peacefully with ›I and you‹. The ›I‹ almost seems to dissolve and the ›you‹ seems to be something that is not a person. Rather a plant. Nevertheless, there are tensions. They produce noises, voices, gasps. Rearing up. Then relaxation, yielding. To the ground. Multiple experiences – softness, crumbliness, fragrance and also muddiness. ›If we want to make the invisible visible, we have to be transparent. It’s not about talking to the trees and plants, but about listening to them‹, Gradinger noted during rehearsals for this open-air version of YEW. Indeed, the ›sound gardener‹ Stefan Rusconi makes the rustling and creaking of plant cells audible via electronics.
