Wen Hui was born in the early 1960s; her strongest childhood memory involves using her bed as a stage, and a mosquito net as the curtain, to perform before an audience consisting of her parents and her older brother. 40 years later, Wen Hui has designed a mosquito net ten times the usual size, raised it on a stage, and invited her friend Feng Dehua to remember together with her.

Remembering...remembering the things you can...trying with all your might to remember the things you can't--these are the motives that have permeated this piece's creation and preparation from start to finish. The content of this "remembering" is all connected to the performers' birth and coming-of-age years, through the entire decade of the 60s and including the early 70s. On the stage, a host of materials involving the act and content of this "remembering" will present themselves: a mosquito net ten times the usual size; an old sewing machine from the 1960s; snippets of the performers' oral retellings of childhood stories; marks of the performers' bodies and language; old family pictures; and selections from Wu Wenguang's documentary 1966: My Time in the Red Guards, which include old Red Guard Huang Ling's expression of his sentiments toward Chairman Mao, as well as all the slogans and writings that filled the air in those times. All of these constitute an instance of remembering. Thus, it is as if each performer's act of remembering is a laborious effort to bore through the impenetrable wall of time.

"Memory" is performed in a 1 hr version and an 8 hr version.
