Set in a futuristic garden of white, translucent and luminous forms, Jardin Blanc intertwines a surreal language of dance, human behaviour, text, music and song in this stunning new production. The dramatic staging of tall, majestic columns and evocative shapes of interlocking fibres and light suggests both plant-like forms and architectural structures, allowing the definitions of interior and exterior to be intriguingly ambiguous. The performers move hypnotically through subtly changing seasons, articulating intricate patterns in their fantastical landscape.
For Jardin Blanc, Yolande Snaith brings together a unique and talented group of artistic collaborators and powerful performers to create a spellbinding and surreal world. The collaborations on this production are with visual artist Sharon Marston, theatre/garden designer Miranda Melville, writer Adele Shank, lighting designer Chahine Yavroyan and composers Jean-Jaques Palix and David Coulter. |
