FORGET MEMORY BLOG

Way back in the spring of 2001, I saw a production in New York by one of my very favorite theater groups in the WORLD, Theatre de Complicite (they also did an amazing Broadway version of Ionesco’s Chairs) The play was called Mnemonic. Here is a line from the opening monologue…

“But what I am getting at is that re-membering is essentially not only an act of retrieval, but a creative thing, it happens in the moment, it’s an act, an act…of the imagination.” 4 (Mnemonic, Methuen, 1999)
