Magical tour of a Japanese Garden



I attended this multi-media show this morning. Here is the Newspaper review:

"A SERIES of interactive visual theatre performances begins today with a performance entitled the Japanese Garden, at the Salman Culture Centre, Hoora.

The show is being presented by Italy's award winning Teatro di Piazza o d'Occasione's visual theatre company and the Teatro Metastasio Stabile della Toscana.

It will feature the Children's Cheering Carpet, which is a specially designed platform, where performers' movements trigger sensors embedded on the surface to create beautiful digital images and sounds projected from above.

The performers will take the spectators through an amazing journey discovering the precious elements that make up a Japanese garden, say organisers.

Members of the audience will also be invited to participate and experience the story of how a Japanese garden is born."

I found the show well choreographed and presented. The children participated very well.
