program notes:
Recent neurological studies have suggested that the more often we revisit one of our memories, the more inaccurate that memory becomes. When we think about a time in our past, we are recalling not the source event itself, but only the last time we remembered it. A copy of a copy.
If this is correct, it means the most potent recollections of the past are the memories that lay dormant for a long time. Their appearance to us in a flash brings us much closer to the truth of our past experiences than the comforting stories we tell ourselves over and over. The memories that we have left alone - for whatever reason stored deep in our mind - may be the clearest and most unadulterated representation of time passed.
Do we selectively guard particular memories in order to protect ourselves, to protect certain important events from our past? Or is it the other way around - are our personal identities constructed by romanticizing merely those past events we happened to have forgotten for a while? The One You Guard the Most imagines the uncovering of a buried memory and its mysterious and vital role as a vessel to the past.
