Abstract
From Analogue website:
In 2009 Patient H.M.’s brain is dissected live on the internet to a global audience
of 400,000 people, cut into carefully preserved slices: manuscripts of tissue like
the pages of a book.In 1953 Henry Molaison emerges from experimental brain surgery
without any recollection of the last two years of his life or the ability to form
new memories. Following Analogue's critically acclaimed Mile End and Beachy Head
and inspired by the world’s most important neuroscientific case-study, 2401 Objects
tells the remarkable story of a man who could no longer remember, but who has proven
impossible to forget. The show won a Fringe First award at the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, and tours the UK and Europe during Spring 2012.
An Analogue, Oldenburgisches Staatstheater and New Wolsey Theatre co-production.
