A family confronts memory, legacy, and loss through immersive future technology.
Memoriam is a thought-provoking new drama set in a near future where technology can capture and transform human memories into immersive virtual reality experiences. When Rachel, an employee at the innovative company Memoriam, realizes that her grandmother Rivka is the last living Holocaust survivor, she believes preserving Rivka’s memories will protect an irreplaceable part of history for future generations. However, as personal remembrance becomes intertwined with commercial interests, the consequences extend far beyond what the family ever anticipated.
Blending humor with emotional depth, the play explores the ethical questions surrounding memory, the lasting impact of historical trauma, and the responsibilities that come with preserving the past. Through its compelling story, Memoriam examines how technology shapes remembrance and challenges audiences to consider the value of the stories we inherit and choose to pass on.
