On Thursday 6 March 2025, the new performance of Hotel Modern will première in Theater Rotterdam: THE FALL OF GRANADA

Hotel Modern and Abdelkader Benali join forces in The Fall of Granada, a historical performance full of storytelling, puppets, shadow play, live animation and music.

 For seven hundred years, the south of Spain was part of a prosperous Moorish kingdom, in which Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together. The arts flourished, science flourished. In 1492 this came to an end, when Catholic Spain conquered the last Moorish city: Granada. What followed was a long process of persecution and expulsion of Muslims and Jews by the Spanish Inquisition. This history has a chilling parallel with the world we live in: exclusion and persecution are normalised and even encouraged. Hotel Modern and Abdelkader Benali present a compelling performance in which they bring the world of Granada to life with images and words: the stories, the dances, the sorrow and the unimaginable climax of the Fall.
