Awkward City combine physical storytelling with visual theatre to provide a moving and recognisable exploration of personal identity in the 21st Century. 'Dissolve' is a tender exploration of one woman’s struggle to reconstruct an identity for herself in the wake of memory loss.
Memory is never a precise duplicate of the original. It shifts and changes, developing before us like a Polaroid image.
You don't forget like you fall into a hole. You forget like you have fallen through space. Like you have jumped from your planet to visit another planet, and when you arrive everything is different.
If you could hold on to only one memory for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
Awkward City use physical storytelling and visual theatre to explore the interplay between the loss of memory and its effect on personal identity.
Awkward City are supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

If this was a film I would nominate it for a few Oscars. See this brilliant play. Gives a special insight into the workings of our Mind and as we the Audience watch this play unravel....it is a fascinating journey into how the Mind colours our world. A definite must see.
