FUNDRAISING APPEAL

Complicite has been invited to take its award-winning production of
A Disappearing Number to India this summer, but we can't do it without your help.

In 2008 we tried to take the production to India, but, at the last minute, our presenter in Mumbai lost her major sponsor, and we had to abandon our plan. It was incredibly disappointing.

We have always felt passionately that the work should be seen in India. Not only is it about India but it was conceived there during the tour of Measure for Measure to Mumbai and Bangalore in 2005.

During that tour we became more and more fascinated with the story of Srinvassa Ramanujan, the impoverished Brahmin clerk who worked in the Port Authority in Madras (Chennai) and who journeyed to Cambridge to work with G H Hardy. It was a fascinating and moving story.

This year, we have been invited to perform in Hyderabad at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians and also in Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai – Ramanujan’s birthplace. We know this will be the last opportunity that we get to revive the show and take it to these cities, but it's an expensive proposition. What we need now is financial help to make it a reality.
