Inspired by photographs by photojournalist Bradley Secker, Elegy is a love letter to the victims of homophobic murders that regularly take place in 'liberated' Iraq. Told from the viewpoint of one who got away, his is a moving and extraordinary story of love, loss and exile: a journey through a no-man's land of empty train stations, border crossings and bomb-blasted towns.
Following runs in London and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Douglas Rintoul (well known to Luxembourg audiences following his productions at the Théâtre des Capucins) and his company bring their critically acclaimed solo piece to Luxembourg.
