A piece about play, joy, and communication. A piece about dementia.
D-Generation: An Exaltation of Larks is a full-length theater piece based on stories written collaboratively by groups of people with late-stage dementia. The work is performed by three puppeteers (the caregivers) and five puppets (the residents of a care-facility). Set to a compelling original score and striking animated video segments, D-Generation takes us into a world that is all too much a part of our lives.

Go see this show! I’ve seen it twice now and each time have been moved and touched to a place of laughter and tears. Each time I’ve seen more of the complex and beautiful texture. Really an amazing tapestry!
