About the show:
“There is something, way down deep that’s eternal about every human being... And that’s what’s left when memory is gone.”
Thornton Wilder - Our Town
Part of British Council Edinburgh Showcase 2017 and following a sell-out run at the 2017 London International Mime Festival, Theatre Re presents a powerful, explosive and joyous piece about what is left when memory is gone.
Tom is 55, today. As he dresses for his party, tangled threads of disappearing memories spark him into life, unravelling as a tale of friendship, love and guilt.
About Theatre Re:
Theatre Re is a London-based international ensemble creating thought-provoking, tangible and poignant work. Its shows examine fragile human conditions, in a compelling, physical style embracing mime, theatre and live music. The name of the company comes from the prefix ‘re’. It is the ‘re’ of re-discovering and re-imagining, breathing new life into what already exists.
Since 2011, Theatre Re’s productions have engaged 121 artists, reached over 21 400 people and engaged 3113 participants. Theatre Re’s Blind Man’s Song and The Nature of Forgetting have both premiered as part of the London International Mime Festival (LIMF’15 and LIMF’17). The Nature of Forgetting was part of the British Council Edinburgh Showcase 2017 and will tour extensively nationally (West Yorkshire Playhouse, The Lowry, The Gulbenkian, The Maclive, Tobacco Factory Theatres) and internationally (Brazil, Peru, USA, South-Korea, Taiwan, China, France) in 2018 and 2019.

Just watched at the Hong Kong Arts Festival 2019 - it was a magical performance and the soundscape added to it immensely.
