Mnemonic (Modern Plays)

A play and production from one of the world’s most innovative theatre companies Mnemonic is about memory, people’s personal histories, shared memories and discordant recollections – exhuming the past in order to examine it in the present. A variety of stories – from the discovery of bog people like Tollund Man to peoples compulsion to retrace the origins of their ancestors – collide and form a piece of theatre which questions our concept of time, our capacity to distort history and our attempts to retell the past. “”An ice-preserved body – from 5,200 years ago – forms the central image of Theatre de Complicite’s dazzlingly imaginative meditation on memory and morality. Timely and unforgettable”” (Independent) – ASIN: 0413747204 | ISBN13: 9780413747204 | ISBN-13: 978-0413747204
