An Epic Production for 2009

Two young women, two generations, two cultures….. Veil, the most epic and ambitious production in Horse+Bamboo’s 30 year history will be touring again in 2009 . 

Veil is a story of two young women brutally separated at birth, who are drawn mysteriously but inexorably towards one another. The story is set against the backdrop of colonial and present day Iraq which provides an ever present 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. 

Veil is a vivid tale of mystery, concealment, revelation - the story of two young women separated and trapped by different cultures. Veil is a powerful, disturbing, thought-provoking and richly evocative piece of theatre.
