Chloe Dechery and Lucy Foster - T588722292'With Epic we will go on a quest for History; the big one, written about in books. The one with World Wars in it, with memorable dates and names you learn at school, but also the personal one, the human one, the one you can relate to.' A playful and experimental journey through 20th century history. Chloe (French), Lucy (English), Philip (Turkish) and Ed (English), will try to track down the genealogy of their own families, digging up the secrets of an English family in the Northern mines or a French family caught between colonialism in Cameroun, a binocular-factory in France and May 1968. Combining personal stories, filmed oral histories, and fanciful re-enactments of key 20th century events, Epic creates moments of intimacy while also connecting us to the bigger picture. | |
