If you've been wanting to visit another planet lately, if you’ve been longing for a change of scene, you absolutely have to see this slightly Martian garden/show! 

You’re invited to find a spot under a curious table/set. You put your head through a hole, and suddenly you’re a living rock in a surreal landscape that unfolds its miniature botany in front of your nose. Now you can listen to the sounds springing up all around you, and watch mechanized plants growing, balloon snails quietly gliding by, delicate foam anemones dancing in the light. However, something is wrong with this eclectic paradise: it seems to be in the grip of a drought. How can we save it? 

This super-intimate show in the form of a visual art installation suspends time to allow us to consider together, with our eyes and ears wide open, the effects of climate change. Like a love poem written with the senses, and addressed to the beauty and fragility of living things.

Without words ● Ages 6 and up

Reserve now: maximum audience 30!
