    FrenetiCore presents MEMORIAM, a dance theater collaboration between composer/conceptual artist Robert Thoth, choreographer Rebecca French, and the dance artists of FrenetiCore, July 13-21, 2012 at Frenetic Theater. MEMORIAM tells the story of a young woman trapped within a set of traumatic memories that she is doomed to repeat.

    Inspired by works such as Sartre’s ‘No Exit,’ and the Spanish film ‘Los Chronocrimenes,’ MEMORIAM describes a young woman trapped within a set of traumatic memories that she is doomed to repeat. As the memories cycle through, the main character deals with them in varying ways--from comical reactions, to brutality, to heartbreaking beauty.

    The cast includes the main character Mollie, her suicidal friend, an abstract monster, a young child who represents childhood innocence and fear, and two other versions of the main character that appear as the memories are repeated.

    As the story is revealed, the audience questions the motives and morals of each character from start to finish.

    With live performance interlaced with film, MEMORIAM is a fusion of emotive choreography that draws from multiple influences, including acrobatics, folk dance, pedestrian movement and mime, set to an electronic soundscape that heightens the intensity of each scene.

    MEMORIAM is an emotional, tech-savvy thrill ride seamlessly merging dance, music, dialogue and video.

    MEMORIAM features choreography by Rebecca French and film and music and plot by Robert Thoth. The cast of dancers includes Kira Boerkircher, Rebecca French, Mallory Horn, Taylor Martin, Mollie Miller and Stacey Ramsower.
