More theatrical magic from the celebrated Theatre de Complicite
Lucie Cabrol is a wild, tiny woman born into a peasant family in France in 1900
Abandoned by her lover, Jean, and banished by her family, she becomes an outcast
She survives her second life by smuggling goods across the border
But it's not until her third life - her afterlife - that she discovers the survival of something more than bare human existence
The survival of hope and love
REVIEWS
"In Simon McBurney's exhilarating production the story becomes an unsentimental evocation of peasant life, a hymn to the tenacity of love and a Brechtian fable about the world's unfairness ... Theatre Complicite's brilliant technique is used to express Berger's ideas ... Complicite have matured into greatness" ~ Michael Billington, Guardian
