Memo


Premiere 17.04.2010 Festival TNT, Terrassa.

Production currently on tour

Performed by three performers, ten tape recorders, a VCR, an electric sandwich maker, and dozens of balloons, MEMO explores the mechanisms of memory through a staging supported on dance, sound creation and live video. A particular experience sets our brain in motion and suddenly it is fixed in our mind as memory. At first it seems that the memory is fixed, but the images we try to keep inmutable will constantly change: they are contaminated by new experiences, altered by other elements of similar memories and combed through time.
MEMO happens in the Unique Birthday Section of the Memory of an ordinary lady. There, three people are patiently waiting the entrance of the experiences of this person and are responsible to build, maintain and transmit her memories, in a constant struggle to keep them unchanged. And, surely, this struggle against the inexorable expiry of memory, despite knowing it is sterile and doomed to failure, is at the core of what defines us as beings.

An Agrupación Señor Serrano and Centre d'Arts Escèniques de Terrassa (CAET) production.
With the collaboration and support of CoNCA (Consell Nacional de la Cultura i les Arts - Generalitat de Catalunya) and L'Estruch de Sabadell.
Project winner of the Staging project Prize 2010 of the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona.
