Mnemonic (play)

Mnemonic is a play created by the British theatre company Complicité. It uses several interrelated stories to explore the subject of memory.

Mnemonic opens with a meta-theatrical lecture inviting the audience to reflect on memory. It then tells two parallel stories: in one, a man named Virgil tries to find his girlfriend, Alice, who has run away to Europe to hunt for her long-lost father; the other relates the discovery of Ötzi the Iceman, a 5,000-year-old mummified corpse. Through recurring images and situations the play draws parallels between these stories, focusing on the theme of the role of the imagination in recapturing the past.
