The Forgetting of Things

The Forgetting of Things, a new play by Jaclyn Backhaus, follows the journey of Peter Pan as he lives and relives an age-old story that everybody knows their place in, save for himself. While he may escape the uncertainty and the hardships of adulthood, those around him see what he will lose–the heartache that gives way to true love, the silence found in fond memory–and they also see one girl with the power to make him remember. In this fast-paced, whimsical, multi-disciplinary theatre experience, The Centrifuge explores the nature of stories, their power to construct the past, their liberation of the present, and their crucial role in growing up.
