TigerLion Arts presents Nature, the mythic telling of Emerson and Thoreau’s mutual love affair with the natural world. Grounded in the story of their friendship, this virtuosic production offers a perspective on their lives that is strikingly relevant, richly complex, and yet utterly simple. Nature is performed outdoors as a “walking play.” A professional ensemble of actors takes the audience on a journey through the natural environment as scenes unfold around them. Bagpipes, ancient flutes, drums and rich choral arrangements are intricately woven into the script.
The show runs approximately 90 minutes without intermission. The audience will walk short distances between four different locations. Audience members are encouraged to bring portable lawn chairs or blankets sit on, while there are a limited number of chairs for those who need them most. Guests should dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
Audiences are encouraged to come early to visit the grounds. Picnic meals are welcome and can be enjoyed with some pre-show choral arrangements before the performance begins. Nature is an extraordinary, family-friendly experience that co-mingles story, spirit, and nature, as a means to reconnect its audience with the natural world.
