 | 'If the stones could talk,
what would they say?'
Award-winning Israeli theatre company Orto-Da bring the UK première of Stones to this year's Festival. Six mime artists create a musical, surrealistic, comic living statue which deals with the myth of victory and the human spirit using commedia dell'arte, clownery, dance and circus. |
The piece tells the thought-provoking story of a granite block that was intended to serve as a monument celebrating Hitler's victory in Europe. However, the war had a different ending and the block is surprisingly used as a memorial of Jewish fighters from the ghetto in Warsaw.
The statue comes to life and it sets out on a journey through the decades.
Join us for a taster version of this show on Saturday 29 May at 11am by the Cathedral West End Doors.
