We Remember Wrong is a daring new work by Jackson Rosie that unearths the violence hidden beneath Aotearoa’s collective memory. Set in a sterile, glass-walled confinement, two strangers — Kiwa, a Māori man, and Sophie, a Pākehā woman — awaken under the gaze of masked authorities. Stripped of context, history, and identity, they are forced to rediscover who they are through fragments of distorted propaganda and surveillance. What begins as a psychological puzzle soon fractures into a confrontation with truth itself. As state-controlled media reframes colonization as benevolence and identity as criminality, Kiwa and Sophie are driven to question not only what is real, but who benefits from the rewriting of history.

Drawing on Aotearoa’s colonial legacy, systemic racism, and the weaponisation of memory, the play fuses dystopian thriller, dark comedy, and political protest. The story mirrors modern anxieties around misinformation and power — where history is edited, truth becomes unstable, and humanity is tested.

Through sharp, disorienting dialogue and a claustrophobic intimacy, We Remember Wrong examines the cost of silence and the courage required to resist it. It asks: when every narrative has been rewritten, how do we find connection? Can love or truth survive in a world built to divide?

Visceral, urgent, and unflinching, We Remember Wrong challenges audiences to look at the stories we’ve been told — and those we’ve chosen to forget.
