Kildare Youth Theatre - The Act of Oblivion

Kildare Youth Theatre - The Act of Oblivion

Can you forget your past? How do we pretend not to see?

Two plays, two stories. Each starts out at the same time on the stage. One is oblivious to the other. One play fights to be the story that we hear and see. The other will be the one unheard and forgotten. Neither the actors nor the audience knows which play will take control of the stage. No one knows which story will be told in its entirety until the night is over, until the victorious have written the history.

With the support of the Arts Council’s Young Ensembles Scheme, KYT devised this experimental work exploring the politics of forgetting. Can you forget your past? How do we pretend not to see?

Kildare Youth Theatre is supported by Kildare County Council and Arts Council
