Reykjavik
Part travelogue, part forensic reconstruction, Reykjavik is an immersive and multi-sensory installation and playful performance that asks: how far can we trust our own memory?
‘Smooth and dreamlike... it's captivating throughout....’ British Theatre Guide
Imagine being lost in a foreign country, Bright lights and fog distorting your view, Whatever possessed you to come here? Reykjavik is a journey through a city of extremes – mysterious, absurd and beautiful - in search of a half-forgotten love affair.
Created in collaboration with neuro-scientist Dr. Hugo Spiers.
