How To Grow Your Garden is an immersive story built by the performers AND the participants, exploring what it means to nurture who we are and the people we care about through the seasons of life.
A generational adventure inspiring deeper connections
How To Grow Your Garden is an immersive story built by the performers AND the audience, exploring what it means to nurture who we are and the people we care about through the seasons of life. Led by Force Majeure performers, children aged 4-10 and their nanna, yeye, aka, or pop will move through landscapes of stories, adventuring together in the live creation of the narrative, unleashing the inner performer in both the children and the children-at-heart.
How To Grow Your Garden is a fantastical Hero’s Journey for young ones to step into, drawing upon the wisdom of their elder friends to reveal the magic we can learn from each other, and inspiring deeper connections between generations. Due for presentation in 2025, we invite you to join us for a special behind-the-scenes sneak peek and creative development workshop of this brand-new family show by Force Majeure. Please note these showings will be filmed for archival purposes.
Presented by Sydney Opera House
