Nature is a mythical telling of Emerson and Thoreau’s mutual love affair with the natural world. Grounded in the story of their friendship and set within a highly stylized theatrical world, the play offers a perspective of their lives that is strikingly relevant, richly complex, and yet utterly simple. Nature will be performed outdoors at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum as a ‘walking play,’ taking the audience on a journey through the natural environment as scenes unfold around them. This original work features excerpts from their own writings, creating a bold expression of Emerson and Thoreau’s essential and revolutionary philosophies. Nature is free with admission to the Arboretum.
