Hotel Modern and Arthur Sauer The Great War Sat, Apr 11 • 8pm & Sun, Apr 12 • 7:30pm 1914-1918. Millions of soldiers wrote letters to their loved ones from the trenches. Millions died in the fire and mud. Millions came home with stories that could not be told or heard. In this startlingly original live animation performance, Dutch theater ensemble Hotel Modern delves into the brutal trench warfare of World War I to address the timeless horrors of combat in this unforgettable Loading Dock performance. Performers roam staggeringly convincing miniature worlds created from household paraphernalia, armed with tiny video cameras and projecting scenes onto a giant movie screen as World War I testimonies and soldiers’ letters are read aloud, capturing the heartbreaking realities of war.
