WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

The performers fly through the air as if they were heavenly bodies released in space in this breathtaking flight of imaginative genius from Martha Clarke. Bosch's painting comes to life in a groundbreaking exploration of heaven, hell, and Eden. A seamless fusion of theater, dance, music and flight, Clarke's Garden of earthly Delights is at once sensual, stunning, disturbing and unforgettable.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

Revivals have two audiences. One includes patrons who've seen the piece previously and arrive with unreliable but firmly-held memories. The other includes theatergoers fresh to the enterprise. The rub lies in the memory part, which could negatively affect the response of the first group to Martha Clarke's "reinvention" of her 1984 hit Garden of Earthly Delights, now at the Minetta Lane Theater, while the second contingent may well be roused to wide-eyed awe.

When Clarke's nervy multi-disciplined stage adaptation of the renowned early 16th-century Hieronymus Bosch triptych debuted, there was no question she had achieved an astonishing dance equivalent to this legendary artwork, which repo[...]

RE:Huge disappointment
I am furious after attending this show tonight. This was supposed to be a wonderful night with my best friend. I was taking her to see this show as a Christmas present. Everything was fine, and the actual performance was very good, up until I got up to use the restroom. Upon returning upstairs to reenter the theatre, I was told that I was not allowed back in. At first I thought this was some kind of joke. What kind of establishment doesnt allow patrons back into the theatre to see the show they paid to see? I was told it would be a "distraction" and that there had been an announcement about this before the show. There was absolutely no announcement. I arrived at least 10 minutes before the performance started and did not hear anything about not being allowed back into the theatre. The man actually physically blocked the door and would not let me open it. Because of this I missed the last 10 minutes and the conclusion of the performance. I had a very heated argument with the theatre manager after I retrieved my belongings from inside the theatre. He insisted that there had been an announcement. Why would I have left then? Why did there have to be someone there to tell me I couldnt reenter if I should have already known? I wish I could give this show a good review. But I am so angry I cant. I am absolutely furious that my night was ruined. I will NEVER visit Minetta theatre again.
