The theatrical performance "Cherry Garden or In the Garden of the Museum" by Despina Dorina Remediaki, is part of the Ministry of Culture’s “All of Greece, One Culture 2023" programme, which this year is dedicated to the environment.


Description

A performance as an architectural reconstruction of memory with coordinates of experiences and scattered pieces of the habitat. A story of returning, to the home of childhood, to the garden of an inner beauty and innocence, as the only way to draw hope to make "other cherry trees". The last heirs will attempt the reconstruction of a lost earthly paradise through the topography of memory. When home is no longer here. And when the garden is no longer here... they will be forced to bloom themselves, for each other. A little ode to personal loss. For every loss. For whoever and whatever is missing. For the lost paradise itself. The nostalgia of a happiness. Life as a possibility that, if sung, if danced, if confessed, can also lead us to redemption. An anecdote, a funny story, a farce about God's failure to give us a life that lasts forever.
