About the event

Hotel Modern: "The Great War"
Co-sponsored by the Center for Humanities, College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, University Libraries, and Corps of Cadets Major General W. Thomas Rice Center for Leader Development

Rotterdam’s Hotel Modern creates fascinating performances that fuse drama, visual art, object theatre, puppetry, music, and film.

The company uses household paraphernalia — hundreds of props — to construct scale models of miniature worlds, then projects them on a large screen in real time.

The Great War reconstructs World War I’s trench warfare with sawdust, potting soil, rusty nails, and parsley “trees” and incorporates actual letters from soldiers. Rain, wind, landslides, and explosions become staggeringly realistic on this diminutive battlefield as Hotel Modern exposes humanity’s war wounds in this deep, beautiful, and poetic work.​

The audience will be invited on stage to view the set after the performance.

$25 general admission
$10 students with ID and youth 18 and under
