Complicite Plays: 1 - Street of Crocodiles; Mnemonic; The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol

Informationen zum Autor Complicité is a constantly evolving ensemble of performers and collaborators originally founded in 1983, now led by Artistic Director Simon McBurney. Complicite's work has ranged from entirely devised work to theatrical adaptations and revivals of classic texts. The Company has also worked in other media; a radio production of Mnemonic for BBC Radio 3, collaborations with John Berger on a radio adaptation of his novel To The Wedding for BBC Radio and The Vertical Line , a multi-disciplinary installation performed in a disused tube station, commissioned by Artangel. Always changing and moving forward to incorporate new stimuli, the principles of the work have remained close to the original impulses: seeking what is most alive, integrating text, music, image and action to create surprising, disruptive theatre. Klappentext THE STREET OF CROCODILES is inspired by the life and stories of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942).
