'If Reykjavik was a movie, it would have a cult following' 

Edinburgh Guide

 

An acclaimed collaboration between an award-winning team of theatre makers and a neuroscientist, Reykjavik is a powerful, evocative journey that asks: how far can we trust our own memory?

'Disconcerting, absorbing and very moving.'

The List

 

Audiences enter a white space and are invited to wear white suits like forensics; becoming witnesses, participants and co-creators as the story unravels.

'This genuinely intriguing piece of storytelling theatre... has both an icy precision and the quality of a dream or a recurring nightmare.'

Exploring memory in art and science: why collaborate?

What makes for good science, what makes for good art and what is each good for?

What are the differences and similarities of the arts & sciences' approach to a subject such as memory? What can they learn from each other's approach?

When do arts and science work best together? What are the possible benefits or dangers of such collaborations?

Why fund science about art or art about science?

Join our panel discussion exploring the making of Reykjavik and the exciting and controversial possibilities that emerge when the worlds of art and science collide. Our panel of invited guests will include Hugo Spiers, neuroscientist and scientific collaborator on Reykjavik, Daniel Müllensiefen, music psychologist and lecturer in Music, Mind and Brain MSc at Goldsmiths, University of London, and theatre maker Jonathan Young.

The panel discussion will include a unique performance by Goldsmiths MSc Music, Mind and Brain students.
