The Garden, a visceral multi-media collaboration inspired by The Palazzo Real in Caserta, Italy.The Garden features original music by Geoff Gersh and photography by Todd Carroll.
The Garden unmasks and transforms the conventional image of a garden, commonly seen as a tranquil space in which to commune with Nature. The overlapping collage of images and movement simultaneously entertain extreme contrasts of sentiment, synchronicity, and order, unveiling Mother Nature’s capacity to destroy, form, and grow beyond our wildest imaginations. The beauty of decay and death, the freedom in disorder all manifest through the filter of contemporary dance.
