PREMIERE: We have called you. You have gone out. In the woods. You don't know what will happen...
"Under The Trees" is an invitation to spend time in the forest, with trees, other creatures and the trees' ancient partners, the mushrooms.

The forest. You think it’s magical. The forest. You think it equals timber. Now you’re here. In the forest. There is no turning back. We have called you. You have gone out. In the forest.
“Under Forest” is a participatory walking performance where you are invited to a meditative moment in the forest – close to the world’s largest natural network. In and under the forest.

Secret Hotel has for many years created participatory performances about and with the creatures we share the planet with, such as ants and bees. Works that are both sensory and intellectually stimulating.

A Bora Bora co-production.

Please note: The language of the performance is Danish.

Secret Hotel and Artistic Director Christine Fentz create audience-engaging performing arts – experiences that are both immediately sensual and at the same time stimulating to the intellect. Since 2008, the focus has been to raise people’s awareness of the creatures we share the planet with.

Our works can be site-specific events and walks in specific landscapes, performance-lectures or seasonal rituals. At the centre is the collaboration with the more-than-human and seeing the audience as “guests” and co-creators.

Secret Hotel is based in Aarhus and works closely with its sister organisation Earthwise Residency on Mols.
