Garden Characters – Melbourne (CODE – 244BTG)
Straight out of the surreal landscape of Alice in Wonderland comes these amazing Characters.
Into the same world in which playing cards come to life, exists a rare and curious trio of moving garden landscapes. Ruled by status and etiquette each character has it’s own personality reflected by their garden setting.
LADY ROSE is the perfect hostess for a tea party. Complete with trellises, bouquets of flowers, garden walls, climbing ivy and butterflies. Everything in its proper place, two sugars or one?
THE DUKE is covered with hedges, topiary gardens, fountains and pathways and a top hat with a working fountain, he is indeed charming in both appearance and personality. But be warned ladies, the fountain may have more pressure than you’d expect!
THE HANDMAID She is the untamed dame. The gardener that likes to let nature take its course. Vines, vegetables, compost and garden tools. The rough cut diamond, is that a mouse on your skirt my lady? They can perform as a stylized travelling ensemble or installation, creating graceful dances and amusing scenarios. They can orchestrate an interactive tea ceremony or conduct an installation based performance with evolving events, humour and song.
