The basic inspiration for this performance lies in transferring the human body mechanics that manipulates on the doll's technology, using the skill of puppet animation and optical illusions.

Filip Jevtić and Jelena Stanojević created Okira, a puppet dancing with a burning ball. After the Okira’s success, the authors decided to make more demanding and complex dolls with the idea of ​​making a four-part puppet performance with two animators, adding a fire-hoop fireball and modifying the fireballs into birds and butterflies.

The name of "Garden of Flames" is taken from the set of full-bodied metal flowers led by a large fire-filled lotus, with which the dolls emerge.

The music is original and compiled for this performance by Filip Jevtić and Antun Gverović.

They performed at the JetLag festival in Amsterdam in 2017.
