Rotterdam’s Hotel Modern & Arthur Sauer do create fascinating performances that fuse drama, visual art, object theatre, puppetry, music, and film.The company uses household paraphernalia — hundreds of props — to construct scale models of miniature worlds, then projects them on a large screen in real time.
The Great War reconstructs World War I’s trench warfare with sawdust, potting soil, rusty nails, and parsley “trees” and incorporates actual letters from soldiers. Rain, wind, landslides, and explosions become staggeringly realistic on this diminutive battlefield as Hotel Modern exposes humanity’s war wounds in this deep, beautiful, and poetic work.
The audience will be invited on stage to view the set after the performance.
