Set animation: In the Garden of Love

WHAT’S THE SHOW ABOUT?

Who are You? YOU is young, passionate and full of yearning. Yet he does not fulfil any predefined notions and finds no love in the emotionless faces that surround him. When he is once again rejected, YOU wants nothing more than for the ground to swallow him up.

Then the grey asphalt of civilisation crumbles beneath his feet. And YOU plunges into another reality.

There, in the hidden garden of love, he sees what he has never seen before. A surging sea of colour and beauty in all facets of our nature. He experiences the eternal human dream of a better world. Trapped within time-honoured norms.

Will a young deaf poet ultimately find the words to break free of these human-made boundaries and allow love to blossom?

~~~~~~~~

FALLING | IN LOVE is a blossoming fantasy. As dreamlike as it could be true.

The New York Times considers our show a “must-see” during every visit to Berlin. More than 100 artists on the world’s biggest theatre – an unforgettable experience.

Set animation: A waterfall almost 10 metres high in the magnificent water garden

Visual Design Director

Curated by Jean Paul GAULTIER

Parisian star designer Jean Paul GAULTIER will contribute his brilliant signature style to the new Grand Show. Back in 2016, he designed the costumes for the highly-acclaimed THE ONE Grand Show. This time, his creative work goes far deeper and is more comprehensive: As Visual Design Director, he’ll lend his distinctive visionary style and touch. As curator, he’s also engaged up-and-coming fashion designers whose work he admires.

Jean Paul GAULTIER says:

“I’m absolutely delighted to once again be working with the Palast and curating FALLING | IN LOVE. I can allow my creativity even greater freedom this time in the collaboration with the Palast team and work with new talents like Fecal Matter and Sasha Frolova. I can’t wait for audiences to be able to enjoy this new adventure.”

The world of Fecal Matter

Vogue spoke with Fecal Matter about “the beauty of being different”. More than one million people follow the pair on social media. “We gave each other the courage to be ourselves and to live the lives we wanted to live,” say Hannah Dolton and Steven Bhaskaran of each other. Is this not exactly the eternal dream of humanity that is rekindled in the Garden of Love? Be whatever kind of YOU you are.
