Complicite:Conceived and directed by Simon McBurney
“It's sometimes hard to remember that there was a theatrical BC: a time before Complicite.” —The Observer
This groundbreaking work embraces the universal relevance of math, which often permeates the most unlikely of scenarios. A Disappearing Number, which won the Laurence Olivier Award for best new play (2008), revolves around the mathematical and spiritual nature of infinity, which becomes the link between two mathematicians: one an established Cambridge professor, G.H. Hardy, the other a young, autodidactic genius from India, Srinivasa Ramanujan. The production's recorded soundscape is mathematically propelled, featuring original music by Nitin Sawhney and works from an eclectic group of composers and musicians.
