I Remember // Moving Monoliths by playField

In I Remember // Moving Monoliths, PlayField delves into the mysterious and intricate world of human memory. Four performers bring personal stories and perspectives to life. Memories are shared and woven into a fascinating web of narratives.

• How easily can our memory be influenced?
• How do memories connect us as humans?
• And to what extent are our memories reliable?

With an ingenious set design and a clever interplay between nostalgia and confrontation, I Remember takes you on a philosophical journey through our personal and collective memory, revealing both the unifying and conflicting nature of memories. This compelling exploration examines the stories we cherish, share, and leave behind.

As a resident creator at GUM & Botanical Garden, PlayField reworked their original 2021 production in light of the Wonderkamer van de WAARheid exhibition. This exhibition uncovers everything about truth: Does absolute certainty exist? What is the role of science and art in this search? And does a museum always tell the truth?
