Revived after 25 years, this intensely humane and richly layered show from Simon McBurney’s Complicité asks us what it is to remember and to forget, and whether culture or chaos shapes our destiny.
It blends the story of a 5,200-year-old Neolithic man’s frozen corpse and that of a contemporary Irish London woman tracing her absent father’s journey across Europe. All to illustrate that migration, and the human or elemental violence that prompts it, are endlessly recurring facts of life. And that the stories we tell ourselves are necessary, but necessarily inaccurate.
