You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Mnemonic''''' is a play created by the British theatre company [[Complicite]]. It uses several interrelated stories to explore the subject of memory.

==Synopsis==

'''''Mnemonic''''' begins with a lecture by the director, who encourages the audience to try to recall past memories. It then tells two parallel stories: in one, a man named Virgil tries to find his girlfriend, Alice, who has run away to Europe to hunt for her long-lost father; the other relates the discovery of [[Ötzi the Iceman]], a 5,000-year-old mummified corpse. Through recurring images and situations the play draws parallels between these stories, focusing on the theme of the role of the imagination in recapturing the past.

==Characters==

* '''Simon/Virgil ''': Starts off acting as the play's 'director' Simon but, from the eighth page onwards, plays as Virgil. Virgil is a British man who is at first trying to come to terms with his girlfriend, Alice, leaving him. He then ends up trying to find and reconcile with her. Also at points during the play can be portrayed to resemble the ice-man from the parallel story.
* '''Alice ''': Virgil's girlfriend who has left him and is now travelling through Europe in an attempt to find her long-lost father.
* '''Spindler''': Based on real-life archaeologist Konrad Spindler,<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2001/iceman.shtml|title= Death of the Iceman |website=BBC.co.uk |date=7 February 2002 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020813190223/http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2001/iceman.shtml | archive-date=August 13, 2002 | url-status=live ))</ref> this is the main professor conducting research into the recently discovered ice-man.
* '''Simonides''': Named after the creator of mnemonics, [[Simonides of Ceos]],<ref>Josh Cohen. ((Cite web|url=http://blog.artofmemory.com/simonides-of-ceos-81.html|title = Simonides of Ceos |work=Artofmemory.com |date=November 24, 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808195206/http://blog.artofmemory.com/simonides-of-ceos-81.html | archive-date=August 8, 2014 | url-status=live))</ref> he is a migrant taxi-driver who throughout the play talks about the never-ending economic migration in Europe.
* '''BBC Man''': A BBC reporter that Alice meets on a train whilst travelling through Europe. He reveals to her that her father might have been a Jew and teaches her about the culture. It is implied that they have sex - this cannot be known for sure as this might have just been shown through Virgil's imagination.
