The Nature of Forgetting

9th November - 10th November
Curve Theatre, Rutland Street, Leicester, LE1 1SB

Funded by National Lottery through Arts Council England  Co-commissioned by London International Mime Festival, The Point and South Hill Park Supported by Shoreditch Town Hall and Haringey Council  

‘A phenomenal example of true theatrical magic’ TheatreReview NYC 

Following more than 200 performances in sold-out venues across the globe, Theatre Re brings  its explosive, powerful and joyous piece about what is left when memory is gone, back to the  UK. 

Tom is living with young onset dementia. We meet him as he prepares for his 55th birthday  party and past memories come flooding back. 

Developed with Neuroscience Professor Kate Jeffery and the Alzheimer’s Society, THE NATURE OF FORGETTING is a life-affirming journey into a weakening mind, where broken does not  have to mean defeated. 

As one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies, Theatre Re combines original live  music with striking visual theatre to create world class, deeply moving, non-verbal  productions about universal human challenges and the fragility of life. 

‘Profoundly moving… an action-packed celebration of life’ BBC Radio 4 ‘Extraordinary… So special, so surprising… It’s magical’ Sarah Jessica Parker ‘Extremely profound, poetic and communicative’ La Republica
