SYNOPSIS
A pawn shop. Her Myspace. That statue of St. Wenceslas riding a dead horse. Your ex's dirty sweatshirt. The quilt. Sonny and Cher's 'I Got You' record, 1965. We dedicate this show to the memory of a woman we once knew...
This devised, interdisciplinary work examines the ways in which we memorialise people, places, and events, from the tragic, to the comical, to the utterly mundane. A part-gig theatre, part-funeral, part-existential meditation, and fully absurd show asking why do we choose to remember? To forget? And how do we remember what we once had?
