Description Within an exquisitely rendered, almost liquid visual environment, two actors and a singer give an enthralling performance which parallels the birth of a couple's love with of a deadly conflict. The complex interplay of video, light and shadow creates a 3D landscape into which the performers melt so perfectly that it is almost impossible to tell stage from screen. Leitmotv speaks to our senses through texture, colour, sound, fear, love, and tenderness. It astonishes us with the paradox whereby human beings constantly create beauty out of what is horrendous, sinister, and painful. At once a powerful musical drama and an intriguing exploration of theatrical technology, Leitmotiv is an unforgettable coup de theatre.
