Questions, questions.
Who are we? Where do we come from?
What do we remember, and how do we
remember?
Big questions these. All posed by a play
called Mnemonic that we staged with a
cast of 25 at the Pamoja Hall in The Space,
our versatile performing arts centre.
Mnemonic is a piece of physical theatre
in which ‘stories of journeys fragment,
reflect, repeat and revolve like the act
of memory itself’. Linked closely to
contemporary dance, physical theatre tells
stories through movement. And in this case,
asks many searching questions.
Our students delivered unique
performances integrated with
atmospheric sound, lighting and
audio-visual design. Only their
audiences can say if all those
questions were answered.
