Across three floors, Secret Garden is an immersive orchestration of scenographic installations, light, and sound in the former Victoria Barracks, to be set in motion by a wandering audience.
In 1978, while politicians were debating the future of the Barracks, three children discovered a secret garden and wished to keep it forever. One day, the parted and promised to return on the last night.
An experiential urban sanctuary, Secret Garden explore the notion of healing like its intertextual references — the eponymous Victorian novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and the phenomenal coloring book by Johanna Basford. Following the footsteps of the three protagonists, across three distinct times in the same space, the audience open doors to what they have lost and found in time.
