Sadler's Wells Theatre - Electric Hotel

Selected show

Electric Hotel -

Electric Hotel is a uniquely designed outdoor spectacle, a fly-by-night hotel brought vividly to life through dance and sound by the team of David Rosenberg (director and co-founder of Shunt) and Frauke Requardt (choreographer, Pictures from an Exhibition at Sadler's Wells/Young Vic) with Börkur Jónsson (designer, Woyzeck at Barbican, Metamorphosis at Lyric Hammersmith) and Ben and Max Ringham (composition and sound design).

"A playground for the imagination... the air crackles with excitement"
METRO

"An eerily compelling experience"
THE OBSERVER

"Electric Hotel proved intriguing... take a peak"
EVENING STANDARD

The weird and wonderful Electric Hotel appears against the dramatic and unusual backdrop of the last remaining Victorian ironwork Gas Holder at King's Cross Central.

Some time ago, an unspeakable incident destroyed the reputation of the five star Electric Hotel. The woman involved in the event returns. Sitting on the outside looking in, the audience snatch glimpses of the do-not-disturb lives unfolding behind the floor to ceiling windows. Wearing headphones to eavesdrop on the internal spaces of the building they watch the residents in their private rooms: the natural habits, the unnatural fantasies and housekeeping of wildly varied quality.

Watch Frauke Requardt and David Rosenberg discuss their working relationship which emerged as part of the Jerwood Studio development process and transformed into Electric Hotel.
