About The Show

The Garden is an immersive hip hop dance theatre experience that invites audiences into a world of self-discovery, choice and connection. Loosely drawing on the story of Adam and Eve, the work uses movement, light and space to explore how we define ourselves in relation to others and how identity shifts within human relationships.

 

Designed as a multi-room and space experience, The Garden transforms venues into invitations of discovery, making hip hop dance theatre accessible to audiences beyond a traditional theatrical setting.

 

Each performance features two dancers drawn from a rotating pool of six, ensuring that no two shows are the same. With performers representing a range of genders, ethnicities, and movement languages, the piece resists fixed narratives and binary roles, instead offering audiences a living, evolving dialogue of bodies, stories and styles.
