Description

The "Street of Crocodiles" is inspired by the life and stories of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942). The play creates a vision of provincial Poland in the early part of the century as a restless ocean of unending flux. The "Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol" is adapted from John Berger's short story. The story becomes an unsentimental evocation of peasant life, a hymn to the tenacity of love and a Brechtian fable about the world's unfairness. In "Mnemonic" an ice-preserved body - from 5,200 years ago - forms the central image of Theatre de Complicite's meditation on memory and morality.

Author Biography:

Founded in 1983, Complicite is a constantly evolving ensemble of performers and collaborators, 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.
