Details

Inspired by a case study by world-renowned neurologist, Oliver Sacks (from his book, The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat), Reminiscence is the story of Mrs O'Connor who, in a bizarre neurological twist is transported, via evocative music, to the surreal world of her memories. As her condition becomes increasingly difficult to fathom, Mrs O'Connor and her doctor go on a journey of discovery to the limits of science's ability to fully account for what happens in our minds, and to the limits of our mind's ability to fully recapture the past. Reminiscence is apiece of theatre using live music (originally composed and inspired by the folk melodies of Eastern Europe) and visuals.
