Description

Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch and Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, Richard Ayres’ semi-staged concert work The Garden is an irreverent and darkly comical tale about a discontented man in search of meaning.

He digs from his garden down towards the centre of the earth to find hell, then all the way back up again to heaven, only to find himself back in his garden once more.
