Ivo van Hove directed his considerable intelligence and curiosity to the continent that had caused such discussion and debate from Lands End to John OGroats. With Adjoa Andoh, Christopher Eccleston, Lemn Sissay, Juliet Stevenson and Michael Morpurgo joining Van Hoves Internationaal Theater Amsterdam on stage at The Lowry in Salford, MIF19s Re:Creating Europe was a thoughtful and thoughtprovoking survey of Europes past, present and future and were delighted to be streaming the production online, complete with an introduction especially recorded for this online presentation by Michael Morpurgo. Re:Creating Europe explores our continent through the words that have shaped, traced and defined its history. Is Europe a continent or a culture, a bygone dream or a thriving reality, or all of the above Weaving a multilayered tapestry of words from artists, thinkers and politicians Shakespeare to Goethe, Churchill to Obama it invites us to consider what it is, what it was and what it could become.
