Based on Courtney Angela Brkic's heartbreaking memoir The Stone Fields: Love and Death in the Balkans, ERRATICA's new production Remnants delves through layers of sound, song and spoken testimony, finding traces of love and hope submerged in the darkest chapters of 20th-century European history.
 
Drawn to Bosnia by her family history, Brkic joined a UN forensics team helping to excavate the mass graves at Srebrenica. Yet among the horrors of war, she discovered remnants of an extraordinary romance between her Catholic grandmother Angelka and a young Jewish man, forced into hiding by the Fascists.
 
Using new oral testimony, Remnants presents Brkic's fascinating story in her own voice, embedded in layers of physical theatre and dance, traditional Balkan music and new electronic textures, which together form a rich sequence of multi-sensory strata.
 
Remnants was created by ERRATICA's artistic director Patrick Eakin Young, and features original music from award-winning composer Christian Mason and sound artist/DJ Shelley Parker.
