How do you like my landscape (2007) by Manah Depauw and Bernard Van Eeghem follows the development of the world in four episodes, revolving around the following events:
• Genesis
• 2000 years later: The creation of the human
• 2000 years later: The Beast
• 4000 years later: The Apocalypse
Every episode lasted between five and fifteen minutes. Between the episodes there were short pauses to change the stage design.
In the Black Box Teater program How do you like my landscape (2007) by Manah Depauw and Bernard Van Eeghem was described like this:
"The audience is taken into a landscape where the seemingly innocent surroundings just camouflage the Beast we know is there, and which can awaken desires in us we prefer to keep hidden. The performance takes place inside a see-through tank and we have to witness the inevitable development from the outside."

"It is funny and surprising. (...) By burying another man's body in an innocently looking nature landscape this Belgian duo show that they are bursting with audacity and imagination. (…) The effect is quite striking."
Benoit Le Breton (November 2007). Le corps humain naît d'un paysage enfantin, Ouest France [Rennes]
