Murray Edwards College, Huntingdon Road, CB3 0DF

Homo sapiens have, for a few short tens of millennia, struggled to carve out an existence for themselves within the natural environment. Today it is nature that must struggle and humans who may decide to grant legal rights for biodiversity or award protected status to specific sites in order that nature is allowed to exist within what is increasingly our world.

Through music and writing, from a diverse and often contradictory set of sources ranging from the very ancient to the as yet unwritten, we shall examine, inexactly and holistically, the coexistence of humans and nature. Inevitably, this relationship can only be viewed through the perspective of human creativity, but hopefully, like the Lorax, we will find those who have spoken for the trees.

Performed by Inter Alios, the choir of Churchill and Murray Edwards College.

Directed by Ewan Campbell
