Fire Gardens, Compagnie Carabosse, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Royal Botanical Gardens Melbourne, Thursday October 11th 2018

"Fire Gardens"was presented by COMPAGNIE CARABOSSE for the Melbourne International Arts Festival at the Royal Botanical Gardens Melbourne on Thursday October 11th 2018

For those new to my blog I write about the holistic experience of attending the theatre. I buy my own tickets. So if you want a re-telling of the story please refer to the links for further information or for further insights.  Note, that I may provide different links for repeated main words or phrases.  I write for my memories of what I have seen, and is more of a stream of consciousness.

I wrote the following onto Facebook and relish the experience:

FIREGARDENS for the Melbourne International Arts Festival gets a 9.5/10.  The only downside was the signage beforehand directing patrons to the entry.  Plus, there could have been some signs to direct traffic to maximise your journey, as there are a couple of loops that some people may miss. It was a wonderful meandering 85 minutes walk.  So glad we did the 7.30 pm show to see twilight and the lighting ceremony, and then darkness to see the contrasts. This would suit one or two sections of New York's Central Park.  Melbourne is so lucky to have this event.  This is the clear standout for the 2018 festival so far.

Congratulations to the French artists, COMPAGNIE CARABOSSE for such a wonderful experience.

GREAT VALUE at $25.00 per person.

Overall, a 9.5/10.

Note:  "Fire Gardens" was called FIREPLACE elsewhere.
