'With enigmatic presence and astonishing mime Philipp Boe has created an utterly original world, accompanied by a hypnotising sound track'. 24 Heures

Whilst investigating a murder, a detective gets pulled into the abyss of his own memories, which seem to lead him deep into the mind of the killer. Amidst imagery inspired by Rene Magritte and David Lynch, Memoire de la Nuit blurs borders between theatre and magic. Objects appear from nowhere to lead lives of their own and a mysterious chest of drawers reveals long guarded secrets. A gripping crime tale with a difference, an eerie experience of the surreal. Philipp Boe trained at Fooltime and Laban in the UK, and at the French National Circus School in Chalon sur Marne. Amongst other groups he has worked with RaRaZoo and Peepolykus. Winner of the 2005 Central European Stage Arts Award for innovation.
