William Thompson

William Thompson is a solo performance inspired by a case story written by Oliver Sacks from his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat (1985). The protagonist of the story has lost his memory and creates his personal history in the present moment. His lack of history provides a platform for a search for new ways of existence beyond learned categories.
