I made this teaser to draw attention to the upcoming radio broadcast of complicite's multi award winning play "A Disappearing Number". It has been used subsequently to promote the theater production generally during it's 2010 world tour. It incorporates imagery, voice overs, themes and music from the show and attempts to create an evocative whole.

 

A disappearing number was inspired by the life and work of the math prodigy Srnivasa Ramanujan. It interweaves multiple plots with the unlikely collaboartion between Ramanujan and the cambrdge don G.H. hardy at the centre. Central themes of the show are infinity, life and death, the indian diapsora and the origin or creativity.
