AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Memorandium is a theatrical exploration of our memories - the stories, feelings, thoughts and impressions that reside within us all. In an old curiosity shop, lost gifts and forgotten objects are unwrapped, revealed and shared. Together we create a story, formed and inspired from our collection of memories aroused by these objects. Puppets emerge from the collection of curios, as live percussion underscores the magic. The Memorandium is breathtaking, as we share memories and our stories.' Source: http://www.pozible.com/(Sighted 23/08/2012).

'The Memorandium has now been adapted for Soundproof. For the radio version, the audience was invited into the ABC studios where, instead of objects, carefully crafted soundscapes were played to spark memories. From that point on, the performance was in the hands of Barking Spider artistic director, Penelope Bartlau, and her musician collaborators Leah Scholes and Darius Kedros.'
