ODE TO THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS

Due to the lockdown of 2020, Hermine Deurloo not only started growing plants herself, she was also inspired by it for a new performance. Because not only light and love, but also music influences plants. This was already stated in Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants in the early 1970s, the book, the film documentary and the album of the same name by Stevie Wonder. Since then, more and more thorough research has been done on plants and their secret lives.

Fascinated by this world, which is so close, but still largely hidden from us, Hermine Deurloo, together with guitarist Eran Har Even, trombonist Joost Buis and video artist Martijn Grotendorst, made a knowing concert about the possible relationship between plants and music. New compositions are complemented by plant-friendly music by Stevie Wonder, Billy Strayhorn and Rogier van Otterloo, in addition to improvisations based on organic video projections.
