The stories that Complicite tells explore questions about mathematics and beauty; about imagination and the nature of infinity; about what is continuous and what permanent; about how we are attached to the past and how we affect the future. A Disappearing Number is a theatrical enquiry into our relentless compulsion to understand what goes on around us. Its starting point is the story of one of the most mysterious and romantic mathematical collaborations of all time: that between the self-taught Indian genius Srinavasa Ramanujan and the Cambridge professor G.H. Hardy.

Complicite is a UK based company of performers and collaborators founded in 1983. This versatile company’s work has ranged from adaptations of classic texts to a collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys. A Disappearing Number won the Olivier Award 2008 for best new play. This production is part of the programme of the Festival GREC.
