Synopsis: | The scene set is an office of sorts where clerks and executives alike are trapped in an hilarious nightmare world of aborted meetings, broken air conditioning, thwarted clandestine affairs and hierarchical games of pass the buck.. As the building collapses so do those within it until anarchy and desperate euphoria sweep the workers into a cringe making office party among the debris of the board room. | |||||

| A Disappearing Number takes as its starting point the story of one of the most mysterious and romantic mathematical collaborations of all time. Simultaneously a narrative and an enquiry, the production crosses three continents and several histories, to weave a provocative theatrical pattern about our relentless compulsion to understand. A man mourns the loss of his lover, a mathematician mourns her own fate. A businessman travels from Los Angeles to Chennai pursuing the future; a physicist in CERN looks for it too. The mathematician GHHardy seeks to comprehend the ideas of the genius Srinivasa Ramanujan in the chilly English surroundings of Cambridge during the First World War. Ramanujan looks to create some of the most complex mathematical patterns of all time. Threaded through this pattern of stories and ideas are questions. About mathematics and beauty; imagination and the nature of infinity; about what is continuous and what permanent; how we are attached to the past and how we affect the future; how we create and how we love. | |||||

Notes: | By Simon McBurney and Complicite, based on the writings of Jun'ichiro Tanizaki | |||||
Synopsis: | Shun-kin is a haunting tale of love, as unconventional to Western eyes and ears in the telling as the mythical quality of the underlying story. Simon McBurney and Complicite have attempted to give the two-hour performance a feel that enhances a stage version of two works written by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki in 1933 A Portrait of Shunkin and In Praise of Shadows, both set in 19th Century Japan. | |||||
