Product Description
Product Description
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)

Just plain wow.
17 May 2001
I don't think that the text of this play really captures the experience of seeing the Theatre De Complicete production. I like to think that I know my theater, modern and otherwise, but I left the show in a state of shock. This play made me completely reconsider what the medium of theater could accomplish. Reading this play is not the same thing as the ephemeral, mystifying experience of a live production, but I suppose it's the next best thing.
