Secret Gardens

Secret Gardens | Geheime Gärten

Das Quecksilber steigt und der Asphalt schlägt Blasen – wohl denen, die sich in einen schattigen (Datscha-)Garten zurückziehen können. Aber vielleicht finden wir einen solchen Garten auch mitten in der Stadt? Nein, nicht in den Hinterhöfen und auch nicht in den Parks. Sondern genau hier: Zwischen den Türmen der Banken, den grauen Fassaden der Bürohäuser, den Bordsteinen, an denen der Verkehr entlangrauscht. Zen oder die Kunst, geheime Gärten auch dort aufzuspüren, wo sie niemand vermuten wird…

RadioRhizomE: Secret Gardens is a GUNSTproduction for Datscha-Radio.

Credits:
miss.gunst and the inverse rabbit would like to thank all artists, musicians, composers, poets and writers for their inspiring work. Namely those who created the music played in this show (see above). plus the following poets and writers for their books who led to some of the thoughts we were musing about in this show: Alfred Jarry (for “Dr. Faustroll” and other ‘pataphysical works), Robert Harrison (for his wonder- and thoughtful book “Gardens. An Essay on the Human Condition”), Michel Tournier (for “Les Météores”), Roger Caillois (for his “Pierres”).
Moreover, special thanks to radio x Frankfurt am Main, GUNSTradio’s broadcasting homebase since 1997.
