Where memory is a wonderland.

This is the moment when opera finally becomes a true cinematic experience. Presenting The Garden of Alice — the world premiere of a magical, eye-popping film, that reimagines a classic story, looking well beyond childhood and fully at life. You won’t want to miss this emotionally driven story — conceived, directed, and shot for the screen.

And there’s a twist.

The Garden of Alice shifts Lewis Carroll’s famous Alice in Wonderland tale to a new perspective, where we meet Alice as an elderly woman in hospital reflecting back on her vivid adventures in a dream-like haze.

As Alice’s hospital attendants care for her, they transform into the beloved, sketchy, and sometimes wicked characters from ‘down the rabbit hole’, and Alice awakens to discover her life’s meaning, through the lens.

This enchanting indie film is a stylized cinematic and musical experience unlike anything we’ve seen before. Audiences of all generations will succumb to the charms of this story — its depth, fantastical visual qualities, and ultimate meaning – about the promise of life itself.

Let your imagination run wild again!
