Central to the scenography is an ‘intercepted’ oak tree, already scheduled to be cut down for forest maintenance. It is hanging over a distance of 25 meters in the big hall. The tree is shaped like it could be the skeleton of an ancient creature, a spine if you will. Whale remains in a natural history museum. It is meant to be a symbol, inspired by Sakamoto’s more tree foundation (everyone is free to donate to).

After hanging in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ the tree will be lay to rest in a natural reserve in Utrecht where she will be the shelter for small creatures and new living things and where she will slowly dissolve in nature.
