Synopsis: | How does memory shape identity? In a blank institutional space, James, Julie, Tina and Princess Stephanie recover from a shared tragic event that resulted in the complete loss of their memories. The play follows their attempts to remember, to forget, and to piece together their shared and individual identities. "Memory is a funny bird, isn't it? There's something in it that defies intellectual analysis. Like muscle memory, or God, either it's there, or it isn't, and you can grasp at it all you want, but the real test is about what comes when you're not struggling for it. What happens when you just sit still? That's what's interesting to me." (PRINCESS STEPHANIE, Fugue) | |||||
