Moments
OPENING TOUR 2024/2025
About Moments
'I give it (grandfather's watch) to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it.' William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury
Celebrating over 13 years of working together, the critically acclaimed team behind the making of the international hits The Nature of Forgetting and BIRTH opens up their precious notebooks and share how their magic works. Weaving Katherine Graham, Guillaume Pigé and Alex Judd’s personal stories of becoming parents and reaching mid-life with theatrical imagination, they unpick their creative bond, re-evaluate success and make a new show exploring time, fatherhood and grief.
Ultimately, Moments is about attentiveness to; magic in the making of new work; poetry in our everyday; moment-by-moment existence; life as we live it.
The development of this new project is funded by Arts Council England, co-commissioned by London International Mime Festival, and supported by The Point Eastleigh, Shoreditch Town Hall, The Lowry Salford and University of York. It will take place over a number of months in 2023 and 2024.
Press:
'Fascinating... A strikingly poignant and beautiful piece about the key midlife experience of losing a father, while also becoming and being a father to the next generation.' ★★★★ The Scotsman
'Utterly brilliant... The artistic quality on show here is extraordinary.' ★★★★ The Reviews Hub
'Moments is a special show... The love and dedication these performers have for what they do alone is extremely moving, and seeing what that dedication produces even more so.' ★★★★★ Boshemia Magazine
'Beautifully choreographed movement from Guillaume Pigé, exquisite musical accompaniment from Alex Judd, and some ethereal lighting from Katherine Graham... The synergy, respect, and love between them is palpable.' ★★★★ North West End
'Amazing.' ★★★★★ Mix Up Theatre
'Magic and beautifully simple... An emotional ode to loss, parenthood and memory. Theatre Re have created a masterclass for budding theatre makers to observe how truly great theatre is rehearsed and performed.' The Mancunion
'Exceptional collaborative work... All showcase their technical and nuanced specialties with passion and delicacy; able to return the audience via collective memory to the sharp, visceral joys of childhood and through the turbulent and painful moments that arise with aging and loss of time.' Epigram
'Masterful... So touching and telling' Alba Nu Sweden
