SUMMARY:At the Sans Hotel
LOCATION:14 Acland Street, St Kilda
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:\nPresented as part of the Theatre Works 2010 Selected Works Program.\nIn a
  deserted Hotel, strewn with familiar remnants, a woman marooned in a batht
 ub suggests something terrible has happened or is about to happen.  She pl
 unges herself into the case of a mysterious German woman, who arrives at th
 e Hotel with no luggage. Investigating who the German Woman is, why did she
  run into the desert and what is she running from, the woman pieces togethe
 r the fragments of a crime she may or may not have committed and follows th
 e German woman into the desert. \nAT THE SANS HOTEL is a theatrical perfor
 mance that moves from sadness to humour, cruelty to tenderness, daylight to
  twilight.  It's a meditation on the terror of loneliness confusion, and i
 ndecision. The work originates from the creator's fascination with the Co
 rnelia Rau case that first appeared in the news in 2004:  "I wasn't as i
 nterested in the issues and political ramifications of the situation as I w
 as about her. I was interested in the story of a woman who was a stranger 
 or foreigner to herself and was lost in a desert, wanting to be rescued. 
  In one newspaper article, the reporter wrote she arrived at a Hotel in th
 e middle of the desert with no money, no identification and no bag. In 2006
 , colliding with my own impending personal nightmare, I began thinking abou
 t a work, using her story as the impetus."\n"I would watch Nicola Gunn she
 ll peas."   THE AGE\n "A breathtaking blend of satire and surrealism as
  if a Magritte painting had shuddered to life... Unforgettable theatre." Â
