‘The boundary between fact and fiction is extremely blurry': Simon McBurney as Mnemonic returns to the theatre

Black and white images of people on the floor .

‘All facts are subject to change,’ says Complicité co-founder and artistic director, Simon McBurney. ‘Things that we think are absolute constantly reinvent themselves. Newton believed the world was definitive in its mechanised structure. Einstein taught us that everything is relative. Now, the theory of chaos shows us that not only is everything relative, but it is also constantly changing and evolving.’

It is an interweaving of references McBurney is once again picking his way through as his play, Mnemonic, returns to the theatre 25 years after its original debut. The brainchild of British theatre company, Complicité, the play encompasses a pollination of art forms, building a web of fact and fiction with which to draw in the audience.
