Poster from "Don't I Know You?"
by Martin Schmandt

The twentieth century has witnessed, in millions of people, an awakening of interest in reincarnation and karma.  Taking as inspiration the writings of, amongst others, Rudolf Steiner, the Moving Word Theatre s latest collaborative creation explores these themes, giving artistic expression to his powerful insights.  Through a dynamic fusion of the arts of eurythmy, theatre, movement and music, the performers create a fascinating landscape in which the familiar becomes startlingly foreign, and in what is unfamiliar, we come to recognise ourselves.  Humourous, daring and passionate, "Don t I Know You?" follows the intricate weaving of destiny and free choice which shapes our lives.  Written by Martin Schmandt and directed by Philip Beaven.
