Garden of Sound – Phive Parramatta
World Premiere
FORM Dance Projects
Garden of Sound tells the tale of two devoted gardeners, Dag and Dug, who are determined to restore their once-vibrant sonic garden. Dag thrives in chaos, while Dug prefers strict order – putting them at odds until they enlist the help of Young People to uncover the garden’s lost sounds.
This inventive production is designed for children and their families, combining motion-capture technology with a video-game engine to build an immersive, interactive soundscape. After the performance, the cast shifts into facilitators, inviting everyone to step into the digital garden and experiment with its sound world.
Blending storytelling with hands-on participation, Garden of Sound transforms movement into music as the Gardeners create a living symphony among unseen trees.

🎭🎶 Garden of Sound now on at Phive Parramatta, part of Sydney Festival 2026
Garden of Sound at PHIVE Parramatta was a beautifully immersive experience filled with light, colour and music. It was imaginative and the beautiful music felt playful and calming at the same time. My son absolutely loved exploring the experience, watching how sound transformed the room. It was one of those experiences that truly captivated both kids and adults.
Kids are also invited onto the stage afterwards to interact with the space and make their own sounds! 🙂
Thank you for the invite to the opening of this amazing, fun show 👏
