Based on D.M Thomas' novel, The White Hotel, the Carbone 14 production follows a cycle of war, sex, death and re-birth.
Programme description: "A multilingual French-Canadian troupe from Montreal, Carbone 14 will be presenting their ambitious work: Le Rail ... A highly atmospheric piece, Le Rail employs a surrealistic mix of movement, acrobatics, sketches, film and pyrotechnics to evoke the novels themes of power and human destruction". |
