Sandglass Theater

Alzheimer's is a worldwide epidemic. Sandglass's D-Generation explores the story-telling potential of people living with this debilitating disease. As one presenter described the production, "The performance opens up a world of wonder, inquiry, joy, and compassion that balances out the horror and fear of Alzheimer's. By the end, one appreciates the essence of each puppet character as much as the performers." Using the TimeSlips method, Sandglass creates a cast of puppet characters with late stage dementia whose lives are juxtaposed with their collectively composed stories. D-Generation examines the joy and despair that is present in the patients, family, and caregivers.
