Hotel Modern attempts to imagine the unimaginable: the greatest mass murder in history, committed in a purpose-built city. A model of the camp is brought to life onstage: thousands of 3" tall handmade puppets represent the prisoners and their executioners. The actors move through the set like giant war reporters, filming the horrific events with miniature cameras and the audience plays witness.
The Rotterdam-based theatre collective Hotel Modern comprises Herman Helle, Pauline Kalker and Arlène Hoornweg. They attach equal value to the elements of animation film, puppetry, theatre, visual art and music that they combine in their work. Other productions by Hotel Modern include City Now and The Man with Five Fingers.
’The makers have found a performance form that makes it possible to once again discuss this loaded subject. By raising the issue of the extremes to which people are able to go.’
/de Volkskrant/
’The illusion brought into being by the camera rings dreadfully true.’
/AD/Rotterdams Dagblad/
’All the realistic elements contribute to a performance that is so gripping that when it ends the audience is unsure whether to clap or leave the theatre silently.’
/Noordhollands Dagblad/
