Raphaëlle Boitel The Forgotten/L'Oublié(e) Photo: Vincent Beaume R aphaëlle Boitel, "one of the most remarkable performers on the European visual and physical theater scene," makes her directorial debut with The Forgotten/L'Oublié(e). A woman searches for the man she loves. Wandering through the ruins of her memory, she encounters moments of ecstasy, secret dreams, and haunting apparitions. With extraordinary physical prowess, the company of six performers flies, glides, and dives to create a parallel world of startling beauty. The Forgotten plunges you into a dreamlike world of flight and fantasy to tell one woman's tale of loss, yearning, and discovery. "This company [is] remarkable; they bend, they dance, they swing, they soar impossibly through the air."—Irish Independent Engage! www.peakperfs.org 7
