A variety of stories - from the discovery of bog people like Tollund Man to peoples compulsion to retrace the origins of their ancestors - collide and form a piece of theatre which questions our concept of time, our capacity to distort history and our attempts to retell the past. An ice-preserved body - from 5,200 years ago - forms the central image of Theatre de Complicite''s dazzlingly imaginative meditation on memory and morality. ''Timely and unforgettable'' (Independent)'
