Based on a poem by Annette Vaucanson inspired by scientist Suzanne Simard’s research on the relationships between trees, Hilbi has written an energetic song where deep bass, almost telluric drums and violin lines drawn from the fiddle tradition accompany a metamorphosis.

Woman, tree, roots, forest and Earth become one.
