The Garden of Possible was born on its own, in the author’s primitive space. Using creativity and play as principles for the exploration of the world and for self-construction, as well as utilizing primitive and always contemporary materials - wood, pebbles, leaves, terracotta, objects that will outlive us, the author creates this interactive show. The gardener’s character represents the author’s solitude. This solitude demands that one offer oneself to the landscape. And the landscape offers itself in return. However, this solitude is a mirror in front of the viewer, multiple and alone. There is no dramaturgy, no pedagogy, no morality, no judgment, no hierarchy. However, there is this mirror, as in any spectacle. Right here, children and adults are on the same plateau, a common territory. We build the city together. No soundtrack, no lyrics. The possible exists only because there is no guide. The only rule that imposes itself on all of us is to do as much as possible with as little as possible. It is a landscape dedicated to time, to listening to oneself, and to that of the neighbor. It is a garden.
