SmallWar

Last summer, Valentijn Dhaenens brought his award winning performance, BigMouth, to the Theatre Royal.

Now he returns with SmallWar, set in 1914 in a field dressing station behind the front lines.

Dhaenens as a nurse, maintaining a watchful vigil with her patients, discovers, confronts and observes. In turn, Dhaenens is confronted by simultaneous digital versions of himself, as a series of combatants arise from the shadows.

Set against an impressive video matrix by the installation artist, Jeroen Wuyts, SmallWar tells its stories in the words of those who were there, those who led the way, and those who followed.

Age restriction: 14 and over.
Running Time: 1 hour 10 minutes.
