Mercy of Trees

In autumn 2014 in the Greenwich Village of New York City, I invited performers and attendees alike to help time slip between worlds. What resulted was Mercy of Trees, living mythology shaped by exile, memory and the movement practices that carried me forward.

This is embodied worldbuilding — a place where movement becomes meaning.

Mercy of Trees didn't arrive as fiction. It emerged through life — through Romani lineage, through the impact of exile from nature and through the research that taught me how bodies hold time.
