The Garden is a clown, physical, visual and object performance. The show interacts with the public, working on and for the location, using the specific possibilities and qualities of each space.

"If you know how to enjoy you are in the garden" - said our first public watching us daily working on the set.

Three clown-like characters are coming from far away rondavoueing in the middle of the public. Searching for The Garden, they discover a new space to play! Curious, they enter the location awakening the imagination. The trees begin to speak, the sun appears to rise, the mystery invites them with clouds of smoke, Bosch-like characters appear and disappear, The Gardener awakes... taking the audience on journeys through different stages , transforming, discovering a land full of the mystery of the unknown! When the curtain closes, the three clowns look to the horizon searching for the next space!

The premier of The Garden took place in Acco Israel IX 2009 at The Acco Fringe Theater Festival 2009.
