In the cellar of a house in a Greek village, an old woman whispers to herself as she weaves on her loom.

In Australia, her grandson tries to understand his life as he unravels the family stories passed down to him. Growing up with memories that donÂ’t make sense, he makes a journey back to Greece. Along the way, he uncovers the darkness of his familyÂ’s past.

What does home mean? And where does he really belong?

“Memories. Memories I can’t place…This constant strange feeling of the familiar, as if I have lived before.
Knowing the tune but what are the words?”

Fresh from performances in Melbourne and the 2006 Adelaide Fringe Festival, Looming the Memory is a one-man journey into myth and identity where 15 characters including a chicken are brought to life in an honest, often comic 60 minutes of powerful story telling and physical theatre.

Original music composition and sound design by: Gus Macmillan.
Produced by: Alison van Reeken.
