Before We Remember
BEFORE WE REMEMBER
In the moment before you die, what scraps of life will your brain create to flash before your eyes? Before We Remember takes you on a journey into the depths of the mind, leaping through memory, myth and imagination to discover the fantasies we weave before we remember reality.
An ensemble of people and puppets create a surreal, comic and uplifting world, using Gomito’s unique style of visual theatre to tell a story that will appeal to anyone who has ever wanted to travel beyond the limits of their memory.
