Philippe Genty offered his audience one of his most beautiful shows with Forget me not, which toured all over the world after his creation at the Théâtre de la Ville of Paris in 1992.
This immersion in the odyssey of beings came out of nowhere in the dreamland, is now recreated. Philippe Genty and Mary Underwood have accomplished an intense work of rewriting, following the example of Still Travelers which has been having a resounding success in France and abroad since 2009.
For this occasion, they decided to work with ten students from the prestigious Nord-Trøndelag University College of Verdal, Norway.
Philippe Genty has been an associated artist at the MCNN for eleven years.
You are bound to be spellbound, moved and confused by each of his creations, Forget me not will probably not depart from this rule.
