Theater: The Museum of Memories, at the New Vic Theater




NIE Theatre
Oslo, Norway, Prague, Czech Republic & Cambridge, England
He was a brother, a student, a neighbor and a first love. Seated amidst the rusty drawers that scale the walls of the MUSEUM OF MEMORIES, witness the beautiful and touching stories of a boy who took his own life and now lives on in the remembrances of others. Through a mix of physical theater, multiple languages and live music, the five ensemble members of NIE Theatre (Past Half Remembered, New Vic 2008) tenderly reconstruct his life.

Hailing from all over Europe—France, Poland, Norway, England, the Czech Republic—the members of NIE Theatre (New International Encounter) prove that theater is an international language. Their shows fuse live music with multilingual dialogue to tell captivating stories from multiple perspectives. This compelling medley of languages enhances characterization and promotes the universal themes of each show.
