The Street Of Crocodiles

About this book

"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)

The

So, 
this 
book 
is 
more 
the 
record 
of
a
process 
than 
a
text 
for 
performance; 
a 
map 
rather 
than 
a 
play. 
A 
play 
is 
a 
place 
which
demands 
to 
be 
inhabited; 
both 
origin 
and 
destination, 
linked
by 
a 
clearly 
determined 
path. 
A 
map 
indicates 
the 
landscape,
suggests
a 
multitude 
of 
directions, 
but
does
not 
dictate 
which 
one 
you 
should 
take. 
A 
map, 
however 
beautiful, 
is 
a
guide
not 
a 
site.
If
you 
wish 
to 
visit 
the

pick 
up 
Schulz's 
books. 
And 
travel.
