“Thrillingly intense... rich and rewarding” The Guardian

Conceived and directed by David Rosenberg
Choreographed and co-directed by Frauke Requardt

 

Electric Hotel is a lonely, bizarre and beautiful outdoor spectacle; a uniquely designed, fly-by-night hotel brought to vivid life through dance and sound.
Sitting on the outside looking in, the audience snatch glimpses of the do-not-disturb lives unfolding behind the floor to ceiling windows.
Wearing headphones to eavesdrop on the internal spaces of the building they watch the residents in their private rooms: natural habits, unnatural fantasies and wildly eccentric housekeeping.
Designed by Börkur Jónsson
Composition and sound design by Ben and Max Ringham
Lighting Design by Natasha Chivers
Dramaturgy by Ruth Little
