Mnemonic | State Theatre Company of South Australia Print


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.
