PuSh International Performing Arts Festival presents Hotel Modern's KAMP
February 3, 2010 - February 6, 2010
Hotel Modern attempts to imagine the unimaginable: the greatest mass murder in history, committed in a purpose-built camp. An enormous scale model of Auschwitz fills the stage, with thousands of tiny handmade puppets representing the prisoners and their executioners. Actors move through the set like giant war reporters, filming the horrific events with miniature cameras and live video projection while the audience bears witness.
Hotel Modern is a daring and innovative theatre collective from the Netherlands, established in 1997. Known for blending visual art, object theatre, drama, music, film, modelling and performance, their evocative productions are in experimental in form while remaining accessible to broad audiences.
