Choreographed and performed by award-winning dance artist Jill Crovisier, The Hidden Garden is a visually rich solo work which takes inspiration from the gothic novel, fantasy literature and the customs of modern life to create a world which is surreal, yet grounded in reality.
Crovisier makes her debut at the Festival, and returns to the work for the first time since she originated the role in 2016.
Since then, The Hidden Garden has been performed by dancers of different ages, genders and styles, including Sami Aleksanteri Similä, Samuli Emery and Gianmaria Girotto and Crovisier herself, who last performed the role in France in 2023.
Talking about the work, creator Jill Crovisier said:
‘The Hidden Garden was born out of the need to dive into my deepest imagination, expressing encounters I have faced as a young woman who has travelled around the world. As a work it is an honest connection to my mind and my physicality, but also a connector to people and our stories.
The work is presented as part of the Luxembourg Showcase at the Edinburgh Festival.
