Did you say Pig or Fig ? HAUTES SCENES : Alice ROUSSILLE, Valérie
CROUSLÉ, |
|
The name of this garden alludes
to a retort from the Cheshire Cat that Alice meets in Wonderland.
We might say that this mysterious character sums up the spirit of this garden:
facetious, deceptive, and intriguing. After going down the great slide, we
land in another world. Dreamlike spaces depict various atmospheres: catalpas
with mossy feet, climbing plants obscuring the sky, lush plants with pointed
leaves
.
In Latin, the verb to play is linked with the word for illusion.
The designers have thus imagined here a garden of dreams, of make-believe
and of magical tricks.
