| Summary: | In this essay, Lucy Davis looks at the recurring references to Tree Duet—a performance series by Singapore
theatre company spell#7 (Paul Rae and Kaylene Tan)—through a series of explorations of trees in modern and
contemporary visual art works from Singapore and colonial Malaya. Tree Duet is a poetic meditation on the
“demands” that “trees make of us” in theatre and everyday life. Davis extends this thesis through readings of the
“demands” made by trees in visual art works. |
