More About Past Half Remembered

Past Half Remembered is performed by a very unique theater company—New International Encounter (NIE):

NIE was formed in 2001 and rehearsed its first three shows in the old Sokol gymnastic hall in Mseno, a small village in the north of the Czech Republic.

NIE is now a company consisting of eleven multilingual theater artists from Norway, Great Britain, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and France, who together explore the possibilities and conflicts of working in a blend of languages, styles and cultural understandings.

NIE develops theatrical works adapted from contemporary European stories. They work as a team to collaboratively create innovative, visually driven performances that speak directly and dynamically to an audience.

NIE has an innovative way of developing new work. For every new play, there is an initial period where ideas are researched and explored by the key artistic team. This often takes the form of a residential workshop where the artists involved live and work together in an isolated setting as they create the play.

NIE uses all theatrical means available - music, lighting, props, dance, sound design, clowning, puppets, singing – to create vibrant theater that is alive and by turns comic, tragic, ridiculous and compelling.

NIE continues to collaborate on projects with different European theatres, institutions, groups and artists because they truly believe that theater can be an international language.
