Mémoires d'un Amnésique:
A piano, a film and Erik Satie, in his own words is, in equal parts, a piano recital, a one-man play and a surrealist film, amalgamated into a unique theatrical experience.
Music performed by Alex Metcalfe.
Script edited by Sarah Miles.
Filmed, directed and edited by
Keith Lovegrove.
​
Narrated in French, with English subtitles. (approx. 65 minutes)
REVIEWS
​
'Skillfully combines the musical skills of Alex Metcalfe with outstanding film production work by Keith Lovegrove. Wonderfully artistic pieces, utterly mesmerising. Alluringly hypnotic and seductively bewildering.​ It is a fabulously well-crafted work of cinematic excellence as well as being a masterly piano recital – when all of that is put together the result is an installation piece that would probably sit very well in any modern art museum.'
The Greater Manchester Reviewer
​
'I thoroughly enjoyed Mémoires d’un Amnésique and would definitely recommend it. Classy, thoughtful and skilfully absurd, it was an atmospheric and beautifully constructed dip into the Parisian avant-garde. So good, you could almost taste the absinthe.'
Hannah Kate, Manchester FM​
​
'Congratulations on your wonderful, touching work. I went through so many emotions watching it.'
Rogha Bhríde Radio Show, Galway​
​
'A production that I would happily attend again – lovingly created, very moving and skilfully performed.'
