The Memory Project
Frost Bites Festival 2016, Hamilton
The Memory Project is a collectively devised, site specific performance installation. Guided by the theme of memory and conceived in situ, the piece fuses movement, sound & video. Original choreography, audio field recordings, and documentary film technique repopulate the space in order to connect with its industrial past. Staged on 3 floors (& and within a freight elevator) of the 100 year old historic Cotton Factory building in Hamilton's Industrial sector.
Devised, Created & Performed by

Reviews
“an evocative and stylish multi-disciplinary performance piece that puts the concept of site-specific theatre to breathtaking use.”

“took me back six decades when I could see my father who had come to Canada ahead of the family. ...an intense experience, had to leave to clear the head.”

“Probably the most challenging piece of the festival is also a must see... This is a powerful piece that works your mind and senses pretty hard.”
