About

Choreographer Chrissie Parrott and composer Jonathan Mustard transform the entire Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery into a dark secret garden filled with the sound of one hundred music boxes.

Under a patchwork sky, beautiful and enigmatic characters lead the audience through a series of beguiling stories where absurd machinery of an overzealous bureaucracy flings the performers into a complex web of intrigue.

Choreographer Chrissie Parrott
Composer Jonathan Mustard

Chrissie Parrott has created a magical garden. The intricate detail of the set, the costumes and the choreography, in combination with Mustard’s rich tapestry of music and sound, is a sensual feast. This one is not to be missed. (The Garden, 2009) The West Australian
