Performance maker Sylvia Rimat follows the aspirational and possibly impossible goal of presenting a show never to be forgotten by its audience members – not a single one. By introducing memory tasks and techniques and applying them to the stage situation, the audience is systematically trained to remember – hopefully forever. I guess if the stage exploded… aims to explore and interlink ideas on memory, presence and sight, whilst trying to understand our urge to be commemorated. The show draws on memory techniques taken from popular science books and on models of remembering, borrowed from several disciplines. Sylvia will be joined on stage by several performers from around the world via Skype, and a living eagle owl called Ollie. I guess if the stage exploded… is a Spill Festival 2011 Commission and funded by Arts Council England. The showings are part of a tour funded by Arts Council England. I guess if the stage exploded…will also be presented at The Basement on 18th May 12, 8.30pm as part of Brighton Festival.
