Mnemonic

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)
