A mysterious carpet is transformed into a magical Japanese garden filled with extraordinary phenomena: a strange - looking lawn, musical steps, mischievous lotus leaves that are full of tricks and all kinds of flowers and fishes willing to play hide and seek.

Children Cheering Carpet - The Japanese Garden is an innovative show from Italy's Teatro di Piazza o d'Occasione. It combines multi-media art with theatre, utilising touch sensors and digital installations that can translate dance steps into a poetic soundscape. This is 'game theatre' at its best, when audience members are encouraged to participate and become performers themselves. The company has been invited to numerous international children's festivals and its acclaimed 'Garden Series' has always been enthusiastically received.
