This is
the story of Virgil, whose lover Alice has left him and disappeared for months.
It’s also Alice's story as she heads east across Europe in search of the father
she never knew.
Interwoven
with these stories is an account of the discovery of the Ice Man, a
5,000-year-old corpse found on a 3,000 metre alpine peak in 1991. Who was this
man who froze to death alone on an icy mountain all those centuries ago? Why
was he there? It's an archaeological detective tale and a forensic love
story.
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.
Featuring
intriguing and innovative stagecraft, Mnemonic is a theatre experience
that traverses imagination and time. We guarantee it’s like nothing you’ve ever
seen.
