At the Sans Hotel

Presente d as part of the Theatre Works 2010 Selected Works Program.

In a deserted Hote l, strewn with familiar remnants, a woman marooned in a bathtub suggests so mething terrible has happened or is about to happen.  She plunges herself i nto the case of a mysterious German woman, who arrives at the Hotel with no luggage. Investigating who the German Woman is, why did she run into the d esert and what is she running from, the woman pieces together the fragments of a crime she may or may not have committed and follows the German woman into the desert. 

AT THE SANS HOTEL is a theatrical p erformance that moves from sadness to humour, cruelty to tenderness, daylig ht to twilight.  It's a meditation on the terror of loneliness confusion, a nd indecision. The work originates from the creator's fascination with the Cornelia Rau case that first appeared in the news in 2004:  "I wasn't as in terested in the issues and political ramifications of the situation as I wa s about her. I was interested in the story of a woman who was a st ranger or foreigner to herself and was lost in a desert, wanting to be resc ued.  In one newspaper article, the reporter wrote she arrived at a Hotel i n the middle of the desert with no money, no identification and no bag. In 2006, colliding with my own impending personal nightmare, I began thinking about a work, using her story as the impetus."

"I would watch Nicola Gunn shell peas."   THE AGE

 "A breathtaking blend of satire and surrealism as if a Magritte painting had shuddered to life... Unforgettable theatre."     TIMES COLONIST
