The forest that grows along the Gila River demonstrates tremendous capacity
for both regeneration and destruction. Humans are unable to recreate the
complexity or beauty of this forest, but we have the power to significantly alter
and degrade it.
An installation co-created by a team of partners will combine sculpture, performance,
song, spoken word, and sounds to explore the processes associated
with the Gila’s riparian forest and to celebrate its beauty. This performance will
demonstrate the dynamic relationships between the Gila River and people—
people who have the power to protect or degrade this river ecosystem.
Once a forest on stage is created from cloth, recycled materials and other
objects, the audience will be invited to walk among the trees.
