"I keep inside myself, in my private museum, everything I have seen and loved in my life"-Andre Malraux
Inside the nation’s oldest surgical amphitheatre, physical theatre artists Geoff Sobelle and Trey Lyford unearth a museum of absence and artifact where the paranormal is normal and the line between docent and exhibit becomes increasingly blurred.
Drawing from the esoteric worlds of 19th Century pseudo-science, medical anomaly, spiritualism, and the occult, Amnesia Curiosa is a surgical séance, exhuming a repository of familial ghosts, memory, and wonder. This contemporary cabinet of curiosities features a unique collaboration between award-winning UK physical theater artist Andrew Dawson (Absence and Presence) and rainpan 43, the duo that brought the existential vaudeville hit All Wear Bowlers to the Fringe Festival in 2003.
