Garden of Delights

Available on iTunes 

Is there a place where the forgotten things lay down to die? And what if when they reach this place, these things - hopes, dreams, people - find a place where they belong, giving them a second lease on life?

Candlelight Productions spent nine months creating a full scale show to help to launch award-winning writer Leng Te's debut CD, Garden of Delights... Our audiences were invited to journey with us into a unique experience of music, poetry, drama and dance, a curated art exhibition and a gardening lesson. It was a kind of paradise - where for one night all the discarded and undervalued things of the world could find hope, value and purpose again.

In line with the theme, the entire set was constructed largely out of discarded or recycled goods, to create a desolate junk yard which was transformed during the show into the Garden of Delights.

The audience was also treated to garden-themed food, produced with love by our amazing hospitality team. Gingerbread cut flowers and cupcake blossoms were devoured by the hundreds and every person had the opportunity to bring home their very own "forgotten thing".

The event was supported by the laid back tunes of the Jesse Mitchell band. Check them out if you ever get the chance!
