Can art make sense of the dark mysteries of dementia? The internationally renowned Sandglass Theater will present a unique and poignant look at late-stage dementia at the Myrna Loy Center January 30 and 31.
D-Generation: An Exaltation of Larks is a full-length puppet theater piece based on stories written collaboratively by groups of people with late-stage dementia. Their stories range from dark private terrors to surprisingly playful. They reflect lyrical inner visions, and demanding confrontations. The stories are told through the reflections of caregivers and the fragmented memories of residents of care facilities, evoking the complex world of people living with dementia.
