Mémoires d'un Amnésique:
A piano, a film and Erik Satie, in his own words is, in equal parts, a piano recital, a one-man play and a surrealist film, amalgamated into a unique theatrical experience.
Music performed by Alex Metcalfe.
Script edited by Sarah Miles.
Filmed, directed and edited by
Keith Lovegrove.
Narrated in French, with English subtitles. (approx. 65 minutes)
REVIEWS
'Skillfully combines the musical skills of Alex Metcalfe with outstanding film production work by Keith Lovegrove. Wonderfully artistic pieces, utterly mesmerising. Alluringly hypnotic and seductively bewildering. It is a fabulously well-crafted work of cinematic excellence as well as being a masterly piano recital – when all of that is put together the result is an installation piece that would probably sit very well in any modern art museum.'
The Greater Manchester Reviewer
'I thoroughly enjoyed Mémoires d’un Amnésique and would definitely recommend it. Classy, thoughtful and skilfully absurd, it was an atmospheric and beautifully constructed dip into the Parisian avant-garde. So good, you could almost taste the absinthe.'
Hannah Kate, Manchester FM
'Congratulations on your wonderful, touching work. I went through so many emotions watching it.'
Rogha Bhríde Radio Show, Galway
'A production that I would happily attend again – lovingly created, very moving and skilfully performed.'
