A dance performance that deals poetically with Australia's long history of migration

A woman with a hidden past arrives in the city. What will happen when a lover opens her suitcase and out steps her past? Will they still want each other now that they realize how different they are? Will their cultural differences tear them apart? Bodies collide and cultures clash as two lovers try to understand their personal pasts in the first step toward creating a future together.

Remember Me explores the pains and difficulties involved in learning to step beyond the constraints of one’s past, this cathartic process being the necessary to move productively into the future. Choreographed by Gerard Veltre, this electrifying and highly physical production fuses multi media designs with theatre and dance to create an awesome visual experience.

A note from the Director

 Remember Me is a heart-felt fiction. On the surface it is a simple love story, a man and woman meet, they fall in love and when the woman is asleep the man opens her suitcase and out of it comes a lover from her past. Through the process of creating this show the cast have shared different dance cultures and imbued the work with moments of personal experience and story. I think the story we have created is very "Australian."
