Аннотация:

2011 Fringe First Award Winner‘Henry, are you awake?’Henry lives each day like the last. Exactly like the last. Every day, he tries to make sense of the world around him; the girl sitting on the lawn outside his window, the pages of a book filled with the same sentence, the 80 year old man looking at him in the mirror.In 2009 Patient H.M.’s brain is dissected live on the internet to a global audience of 400,000 people, cut into carefully preserved slices: manuscripts of tissue like the pages of a book.In 1953 Henry Molaison emerges from experimental brain surgery without any recollection of the last two years of his life or the ability to form new memories.In 1935 nine-year old Henry is knocked over by a bike, leaving him unconscious for five minutes.Following Analogue's critically acclaimed Mile End and Beachy Head and inspired by the world’s most important neuroscientific case-study, 2401 Objects tells the remarkable story of a man who could no longer remember, but who has proven impossible to forget.‘I defy anyone not be drawn into this deeply moving examination of life, death and memory.’ – Telegraph ‘2401 Objects is a solid, well-researched piece of theatre that adds to Analogue's ever-growing canon of work.’ – Total Theatre Review ‘Beautifully-sculpted… an understated and outstandingly gentle piece of theatre’ - The Scotsman
