The Street Of Crocodiles
The Street Of Crocodiles | Bruno Schulz
3 posts | 13 read | 15 to read
"Complicite not only open our eyes to Bruno Schulz but turn his densely impressionistic stories into a piece of vividly imaginative theatre" (Michael Billington, Guardian)The Street of Crocodiles is inspired by the life and stories of Polish writer Bruno Schulz (1892-1942). Originally co-produced by Théâtre de Complicité and the Royal National Theatre it opened at the Cottesloe in 1992 and toured all over the world until 1994. The original production was remounted in 1998 and played in New York, Toronto, Minneapolis and Tokyo before opening at the Queen's Theatre London in January 1999."This astounding production creates a vision of provincial Poland in the early part of the century as a restless ocean of unending flux...the miracle of Complicite's interpretation of Schulz's stories...is its ability to give specific theatrical life to this perceptual anarchy...when you leave the theatre you expect the ground beneath your feet to give way." (New York Times)

Thu: "It's a book of short stories told from the perspective of a young boy and set in a Polish city. I read a profile of the author and was touched by his story. He was a writer and living in a Jewish ghetto in Poland. An SS officer protected him until one day he was shot dead in the street by that officer's rival. What's amazing about his book is that it's fantastic – like you're an ant and are looking at a dazzling storefront full of lights."
