The Garden of Damnation is not a natural environment, but rather it is an aristocratic extraterritoriality where it is not deeds that count, but intentions; not incidental occurrences, but permanence; not the events of life, but the destiny of existence. The Garden stands for the passionate diversity of a world laden with conflicts, emblematical of the ruins of life. The anxiety, pain, and passion of the characters of the Garden cannot be grasped any more without the threat of lying; hence the production takes refuge in musicality consisting of strange sound fragments; and poetry consisting of fragmentary scenes based on grotesque association of ideas. The dead vacuity and serene coldness of the Garden is counterbalanced by the presence of upgraded imagery, reinforced by textual fragments from Racine, Rilke, Weöres, Apocrypha, Gnostic Scriptures, the Book of Psalms and accompanied by contemporary music, dance, and video fragments. With English subtitles!
