Simply Treeming
SIMPLY TREEMING, a new IN-SITU project conceptualised and created by Anke Fiévez and Mille Lundt, aims to create an utter and urgent stillness as a contrast to our fast-moving society today. Anke Fiévez and Mille Lundt, both living in Belgium for more than twenty years, are working as creators and performers in the intersection of performance and circus art. They both place their work in situ and in indoor spaces.

Mission
Simply Treeming is a long-shared interest that increases the focus on trees, soil, and roots set in a natural environment or the urban environment. We, Mille and Anke, wish to defend this new IN-SITU project: Treeming, a versatile proposal of an experimental form for outdoor use, with nature and especially the trees as its starting point. A universal symbol since the dawn of time, the tree symbolises, among other things, strength, power, wisdom, fertility and life. In recent years, it has become clear that these beings have functions, emotions, families, and functions similar to ours. This living being, which is increasingly brought to light today and is the subject of numerous studies and research, is at the centre of the artistic project, which also focuses on the health and mental health of the human being and, therefore, of our public.
Vision
We explore the tree, its roots and the site around it. We need a specific time to develop knowledge about the site and to create the performance, especially for each unique place. The work is an understanding of the richness of the site and its dimensions: spatial, historical, social, poetic and acoustic. We explore the relationship between the physical body and physical matter. The working methods for creating Simply Treeming are shaped by an encounter between oneself and the environment. The specific history of the place, the relationships that exist there, its atmosphere, all enrich the writing and feed the script.
