Crossing continents and centuries, Mnemonic's fragmented narrative takes in the discovery of Otzi the iceman, a search for an absent father and the longing for a lost love in an exploration of memory that questions our reliance on this most subjective of storytellers.

 

Mnemonic was originally a co- production with the Salzburg Festival
