September begins with an elderly couple situated in an imagined future not so far from now. Flashing back to a time not unlike the present, the mechanics of their reminiscence are slowly torn asunder by the encroachment of technology on both psychic and actual spaces.

Through physical theater, pop music, contemporary dance, mask, clown, object theater and poetic narrative, we sift through the decades of their mediatized memory to recall how it felt to fall in love amidst the radical overwhelm of contemporary quotidian life.

An optimistic speculation on the future of nostalgia, collaboratively created by performance partners/Royal Frog Ballet artistic associates/real-life husband-and-wife Ewen Wright and Laurel Butler, September is a series of vignettes about survival in the face of dissolution: how memory might transcend the perils of the digital age, how the authenticity of togetherness might be preserved, and how easy it is to forget to remember.
