Giardino Barocco

The group creates a tableau, be it itinerant or  situated 'in one place'.  In addition to this, according to the event and setting, they sometimes perform short danced scenes or interactive interludes with the audience of guests.
 

Based on the iconography of classical figures in fine art, in both 2 and 3 dimensions, this representation goes beyond  stillness, and is the fruit of research into "silence"… which is surprisingly interactive.

​

The stylisation  of the characters and their relative historic periods  radiate light to all environments:  villa, courtyard, garden  or ballroom.  An evocative performance,  theatrically breathtaking in its understated charm.
