To forget is to be unable to remember. It implies the loss of accessibility to a memory. It does not have to mean that the information is lost.
Tom is 55, today. As he dresses for his party, tangled threads of disappearing memories spark him into life, unravelling as a tale of friendship, love and guilt.
Inspired by the work of theatre director Tadeusz Kantor, recent neurobiological research and interviews with people living with dementia, The Nature of Forgetting is a powerful, haunting and beautiful theatre piece about the inability to recollect a life and what is left when memory is gone…
There is something, way down deep that’s eternal about every human being... And that’s what’s left when memory is gone”
Thornton Wilder - In Our Town
