For his new large-scale theatre creation, which marks the twentieth anniversary of his company Vivarium Studio, Philippe Quesne has been inspired by the equally famous and enigmatic triptych by Hieronymus Bosch, the "Garden of Delights". The 15th century painter's fantastic allegories describe the radical upheaval of traditional, technical and political standards in a time of transition. The director gathers a team of actors, musicians and technicians who are ready to undertake a similar journey through time and into the present. In a place they find abandoned, they organise themselves in their own way as a community, using the things they find here and drawing on their own experiences, the memory of the place and the theatre.

In front of a stony high wall with trees on top, three people push a white bus from behind. Three people are sitting inside and one is standing in front of it, illuminated by the spotlight. In the background lies a large egg.

In a blue and white bus with one side open like a peep-box, a person in a red full-body suit stands and dances in the fog. Five spectators sit and stand in front of the bus. One person sits on the bus and holds a satellite dish.

Eight people stand in a dry landscape around a human-sized egg with an opening. They look at the egg or touch it with one hand. Five people have one hand raised and one person holds a microphone in the opening of the egg.

In front of a stony high wall with bushes, there is a bus on the left, several chairs in front and a group of people and two human-sized eggs on the right. Above the people a huge blue triangle shines in the air and it is foggy.

In a bus, which is lit from the inside, there are six people with their mouths open. Three are sitting, three are standing and four of them are holding their hands out in front of them.

In a dark stage space, four figures crawl and bend. The floor is covered with black glittering debris, a white viscous substance flows from above, sticking the figures and mixing with the debris on the floor.
