HOTEL MODERNTHE GREAT WARFriday & Saturday, January 15 & 16 • 8 pm Read The Dartmouth's preview of Hotel Modern Download PROGRAM NOTES
On the screen, rain pours, hand grenades sizzle, and boots slog through mired trenches as the quiet French countryside undergoes the tragedy of World War I. Incredibly, it is all created and filmed live, onstage, by members of this Dutch theater collective, in a tour-de-force combination of puppetry, camera work and scenic and sound effects. Accompanied by live music and spoken excerpts from actual soldiers' letters, The Great War is “poignant, powerful and yet so simple that, at times, it brings tears to the eyes” (Liverpool Daily Post). Programmed in support of the Dartmouth Centers Forum theme “Conflict and Reconciliation.” For more info, visit dartmouth.edu/~centersforum. |
 "A deeply original and enthralling piece of theatre...that flits with chilling ease between child-like war games with battalions of toy soldiers and serious comment."
