Gardenia digs into the turbulent lives of nine remarkable people. This performance is not fiction, but an exceptional testimony, an intimate account of hope and cherished or lost illusions. Seven older characters who seemingly effortlessly walk the twilight zone between man and woman, in contrast and harmony with a ‘young dude’ and a ‘real woman’. Each on a quest. Each with an intriguing story.

Ten years after the premiere at NTGent, and after the production has toured the world, the cast is picking up where it left off. Or not quite. Andrea has left us forever. And with her, Tina Turner has disappeared. Eight of them continue. Eight individuals who are so special that you want to get to know them. That you want to embrace them.
