Forgotten Memory

Forgotten Memory

Forgotten Memory is a lament for the ‘Broken body of the Earth’ in a multi-lingual tapestry of languages, including dance, music and signing and a call to ‘Dream a new world into being’. The film reflects the rich and beautiful diversity of the many cultures in our world, united in honouring our earth in their own languages.

Siobhan MacMahon devised this originally as a film piece. It was also performed as a live piece at Wakefield literature festival in 2014 (see video below).
