Chotto Xenos is a captivating and sensitive production that superbly manages to depict how a conflict affects both the individual who is affected and the society around us. The piece takes the audience into the muddy trenches of World War I and the lives of the colonial soldiers that were thrust into a conflict far from home and against their will.

The production is suitable for children over the age of eight, but can also be appreciated by adults. Using humour, facial expressions and clear body language, the piece manages to convey the horror of the reality of war, while still creating space for reflection and hope. The scenography and use of video bind the story together, and present it in a format and a form that is designed for a young audience. Because where does a war start? And where does it end? That usually depends on who is telling the story.
