Abstract
In June 2014 the Performance Research Group opened a new bi-lingual production, Night Horses at the Chappelle Gely, a desacrilised church in the cité gitane Montpellier. The piece was adapted from Marlowe’s Dr Faustus, Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, and Rimbaud’s Nuit en Enfer. Commissioned for the IRCL conference hosted by Montpellier III University, Night Horses offered the Performance Research Group an opportunity to conduct practice as research into the application of actor training methodologies to bi-lingual performance modes and texts.
