Documentary filmmaker Sam Green returns to Duke with TREES , his most ambitious live cinema project to date. In this original format previously seen at Duke Arts in the sold-out production of 32 Sounds, film, music, and storytelling unfold together on stage. 

In Green’s performances, the filmmaker narrates the documentary live while musicians perform an original score in real time. This new project brings together Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Caroline Shaw and acclaimed writer and environmentalist Rebecca Solnit to explore humanity’s relationship with trees across time and cultures. 

Featuring voices including Judi Dench and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón, the work offers a poetic meditation on the silent witnesses to human history. 

Please note: Sam Green will appear as a narrator; additional live performers will be announced soon.
