This internationally acclaimed piece by two Canadians, Michel Lemieux and
Victor Pilon have interpreted a poem of the same name by Montreal poet
Claude Beausoleil, it tells the story of a writer who isolates himself for
one night in a very small hotel in Paris and is plagued by manifestations
of his memories and deepest fears.

This is not, however, a poetry performance in the usual sense.  While the
central character of the writer will be played by an actor, he rarely
speaks.  More often he will be addressed by the transparent, 3-D "ghosts"
created from the fusion of video and computer technology.

"It's a combination of different kinds of technology"  It uses technology
that came from an illusionist of the last century"

Simply stated, "Grand hotel des etrangers is poetry in the multimedia
age"

Come see it.  It will be a memorable performance!
