Garden of Chance unfolds as an illusory spacetime in which two protagonists create a surreal, pataphysical garden – a place where dance and poetry create an arena for wonder. Le sujet à vivre is chance itself, which inspires our emotions and perceptions. Commissioned by the Festival d’Avignon and Le Sujet à Vif / SACD. «Kurt Demey is the artistic director of the Rode Boom company, and he is a mentalist. For this Garden of Chance, pure magic crosses paths with contemporary dance. Beyond the astonishment of the tricks performed, the show breaks the fourth wall more than ever without resorting to caricature. It is as delirious as it is astonishing, as crazy as it is tender.”Amélie Blaustein Niddam - All the Culture – 07/17/2019 «With this new work, funny, whimsical, subtly participatory, this advocate for open, sensitive, and universal dance, risks shaking the coconut tree of everything we think we know about contemporary dance.»Rosita Boisseau - Le Monde – 07/18/2019
