We Dig Plants

Special Interview with Carmen Devito and Alice Marcus Krieg of We Dig Plants! This week, Carmen and Alice discuss one of their recent garden projects with Tom Pearson/Third Rail Projects. Carmen and Alice designed a site-specific garden for Then She Fell, a Victorian Alice in Wonderland interpretation that takes place inside of the old Greenpoint Hospital building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Hear about how the tension is created by the contrasting setting and story, and how this duality furthers conflict in the production. “Even the taste experiences are partnered with the actual performance components.” -- Tom Pearson. “The Victorians couldn’t get loose in other ways, but they could go into the glasshouse or orangery and be exotic and be free.” -- Carmen Devito on We Dig Plants
