Hotel
‘Hotel’ featuring compositions by Philip Miller and costumes by Robyn De Klerk, is a multi-layered, dance theatre work using Guillaume Apollinaire’s poem of the same name as an starting point. People, thoughts and ideas check-in and check-out, some linger and occupy, whilst some depart as quickly as they arrive. It is an uncontrollable place which is sometimes real and then again, sometimes only in our subconscious.
