Carmen Funebre

Teatr Biuro Podrózy (Poland)

One of Poland’s leading theatre companies returns to the National with its most celebrated production – an electrifying and startling theatrical experience using fire, stilts and dramatic visual images to depict the terrible nature and impact of war.

Based on the stories of refugees from the Bosnian conflict, this is outdoor theatre at its most powerful, and its themes are, unfortunately, timeless.

Capacity 350; Performed in an open space with standing and seated places around the performance area, with limited bench seating available; with English voice-over; age recommendation 12+; 45mins.

Carmen Funebre is supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of POLSKA! YEAR www.PolskaYear.pl
