Whilst a man attempts to unpick a long distant memory, he finds himself struggling to understand his own past, present and future. As memories collide Leo Bill takes us on a passionate, tequila-fuelled trip down the strange alleyways of his own remembrance.
Streaming live from Quarterhouse Leo Bill will perform this piece having not read the script in over a year. As the actor attempts to recall the performance, the character grapples with the order of his life.
Following the performance, there will be a Q&A with Leo, our resident neurologist & neuroscientist Tim Rittman - who specialises in rare types of dementia - and members from our local community.
“I remember it like that. I just remember things differently. And I like how I remember things. Differently. It’s just a different memory to the one I’m supposed to be remembering but…”
“Time here… At this moment… This timeless memory… Leaves me”
