dumb type's memorandum brings their unique audiovisual architectonics to an investigation of memory.

Combining elements of multimedia, dance and fragmented narrative, memorandum explores the hazy dimensions of recall that ground and disquietly erode our experience minute-by-minute. The set is simple - almost an abstraction. A bare stage is bisected by an impenetrable but translucent wall, a screen onto which will be projected a barrage of images. Amidst a cascade of white noise and REM-speed visual flashes, the performers break down the motions into displaced gestures in silhouette. Penetrating deeper beneath the surface of moment, dancers drift in a slow sensual subconscious slidestep through the "forest of memory" haunted by voices and desires.
