About The Forgotten Kingdom
Videos
- 60 second sizzler
- Overview (story, about theatrically projected sand animation, staging) + full scene
The Forgotten Kingdom immerses audiences in a family’s memories of an unraveling, multiethnic Mediterranean world, brought to life through theatrically projected sand animation, narration blending memoir and poetry, and a riveting musical score.
Breathtaking sand images are created, morphed and obliterated to form dreamlike, intensely emotional chronicles. The cinematographic score reframes Ottoman Jewish women’s song, drawing on the bittersweet rawness of Tango; the rhythmic fire of classical Arabic percussion; and gorgeous vocal harmonies with Western classical music’s harmonic roots. Sand and music intertwine with “masterfully narrated” (Welland Port Colburn Concert Association) tales and an evocative scenic and lighting design.

Guy Mendilow Ensemble (GME) weaves inspiring stories through live riveting scores, narration blending memoir and poetry, and theatrically projected sand animation. GME’s productions center on real-world tales of choices people make as they negotiate thresholds, personal or historical. GME is especially intrigued by decisions animated by generosity and grace in the face of upheaval. Led by artistic director/composer Guy Mendilow, GME is "an international tour de force” (Bethlehem Morning Call) of world-class artists, writers, composers and theatrical designers from the Middle East, Europe, South and North America now living mainly in Boston, MA and New York, NY. Founded in 2004, GME is a recipient of multiple funding awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Boston Foundation and Western Arts Alliance on the basis of artistry, cultural preservation and strengthening communities through the arts. GME operates on the conviction that moving, multidisciplinary stories can be powerful agents for conversation: A coming together to listen to one another and share our stories in the service of exploring who we are and who we wish to be, building an understanding of how the other has come to believe what they believe and know what they know.
