Aldwych, London, WC2B 4LD • A DELFONT MACKINTOSH THEATRE
‘Mind-bending and heart-stopping’The Independent
Conceived and Directed by
Simon McBurney
…weaves together the story of two love affairs, separatedby a century and a continent. The first happens now. The second is set in 1914. It tells of the heartbreaking collaboration between the greatest natural mathematicianof the 20th century, Srinivasa Ramanujan, a pennilessBrahmin from Madras in South India, and his British counterpart, the brilliant Cambridge don GH Hardy.
With a haunting original score by Nitin Sawhney, this pieceof startling visual poetry from Simon McBurney and Complicite is a compelling meditation on love, mathematicsand the pain of exile in an age when we think we can belong anywhere and have everything.
