The Nature of Forgetting

Following more than 200 performances worldwide, Theatre Re brings its explosive, powerful and joyous piece about what is left when memory is gone back to the UK for its landmark 10th Anniversary Season.

Since its 2017 premiere, The Nature of Forgetting has moved audiences from New York to Seoul, São Paulo to Shanghai, and played to sold-out houses across the US, China and beyond; establishing itself as one of the most powerful theatrical experiences of the past decade.

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 fragmented 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 performance to create deeply moving, non-verbal theatre about universal human challenges and the fragility of life.

Hay!

Scarecrow is bored with being stuck in his field, arms fixed wide. The crows are not scared of him anyway – in fact they have made a cosy nest in his hat.

When Farmer Geenie frees him by accident one day he discovers – hay! – he can finally move! He finds that the world around him is full of wonderful surprises and with Geenie’s help learns all about the birds and the bees, how to walk, dance, sing and find his place in the world.

What Geenie doesn’t know is that Scarecrow has a secret dream. He doesn’t really want to scare the crows. He wants to be like them, spread his arms wide and fly.

This is a show about discovering all the wonders of the world for the first time and how to live with them in harmony.

There are no words but it’s packed full of meaning, music and movement and a cavalcade of captivating costumes.

Dedicated to everyone who sometimes feels stuck-in-the-mud while wishing they could soar into the blue.
