by Complicite

One of the most astonishing discoveries of modern times is the immensity of the past

mnemonic / ni'monik / adj. 1. assisting or intended to assist memory; 2. of memory

A body is found in the ice, and a woman is looking for her father while a man searches for his lost lover.

This story is as much about origins as it is about memory, and remembering what is lost.

As relevant in 2024 as it was in 1999, Mnemonic asks us: what is our place in the natural world? How have human relationships with the environment shaped patterns of migration? Who are we, and where do we come from?

Conceived and directed by Complicité's Artistic Director and Co-founder, Simon McBurney.

This edition was published to coincide with the production at the National Theatre's Olivier Theatre from June to August 2024.
