Synopsis
Mnemonic
$15.99 Published by Methuen
"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
