Mnemonic

Théâtre de Complicité

Conceived and directed by Simon McBurney

In 1991 tourists descending a 3,000 metre peak discover a shrivelled, naked body emerging from the ice. How old is it?

A man alone in his London flat, unable to sleep, searches in his memory. Or does he just imagine?

Place and memory collide while stories that are older than the millennium connect to stories that surround us in everyday life. Stories of journeys fragment, reflect, repeat and revolve like the act of memory itself as Mnemonic questions our understanding of time, our capacity to distort history and our attempts to retell the past.
