Dementia is fast becoming the most common cause of death in the Western world. It is devastating, not only for sufferers but for their loved ones. Forgotten is a deeply moving theatrical concert that takes the audience on a journey through the mind of a dementia patient – through fear, confusion, memory loss, and, ultimately, surrender to the unknown. A unique fusion of music and theatre, this production explores the many faces of dementia – anxiety, hallucinations, forgetfulness, suspicion – each represented through an extraordinary blend of familiar and unfamiliar choral repertoire, electronics, and live performance.
