We talk a lot. But what if your dear family member, friend or client can no longer follow your words? Dementia reduces the understanding of spoken language, which can cause confusion and anxiety. You still want to connect so much, but how do you do that without words?
In the musical encounters of De Stille Stoet KRACHTVOER leaves out all spoken language. This creates space to make contact from the body. A colorful procession of musicians and players moves softly through the space and invites playful and loving interaction, attuned to everyone's needs.
Especially for the Parktheater , KRACHTVOER, in collaboration with the Alzheimer Café, is developing a new theatrical format for a broad audience. You’ll be drawn into a world of slowness and stillness, following multiple intimate interactions simultaneously. This offers a unique glimpse into the possibilities of nonverbal communication with people living with dementia.
In addition to the performance, Maddy Kok will give a compact theatercollege on The Method KRACHTVOER, followed by space for discussion and questions. The evening will end with the documentary De Stille Stoet 2.0.
- Includes theatercollege and documentary screening
- Book When words disappear available this evening
