An Epic New Production for 2008
Two young women, two generations, two cultures….. Veil, the most epic and ambitious production in Horse+Bamboo’s 30 year history will be touring across the UK in 2008 .
The historic tension and troubled relationship between Islam and Christianity provides both a backdrop and an undercurrent to a powerful, atmospheric story of secrecy, visions and violence.
Veil is a complex, intense and multi-layered journey recounted using Horse+Bamboo’s unique mix of absorbing, original and startling visual theatre techniques.
It is a vivid tale of mystery, concealment, revelation and two young women separated and trapped by different cultures but drawn inescapably to one another.
With a setting that sweeps from Iraq to the West and a wide-ranging scope that takes in archaeology, the significance of signs and symbols, entrapment and exposure, Veil is a powerful, disturbing, thought-provoking and richly evocative piece of theatre.
