{IN}TANGIBLE to Have World Premiere at Theatre Row in August

​As part of the 10th Anniversary of the Dementia Society of America, Brianna Kalisch's circus play {IN}TANGIBLE will get its World Premiere at New York Theatre Row, August 8-11, 2024, directed by Felicity Hesed. 

{IN}TANGIBLE is a dramatic circus-play using dialogue and narrative circus to tell the story of a woman and her family in the blurred timeline of dementia. While staying in a nursing home, ‘Q' is visited by her family and memories. Overlapping, competing, and larger-than-life, her memories pull from her present reality into the magical world of life as she remembers it. 

"Dementia can be unpredictable and isolating but through the power of theater, we can transform the pain and confusion of this condition into a mesmerizing circus of emotions, bringing connection, compassion, and hope to those affected." 

Playwright/ performer Brianna Kalisch

"We are immensely proud to support the creative and impactful work of this show as it celebrates its world premiere with our 10th anniversary. Together, we uplift and empower individuals and families impacted by dementia through education, local resources, and life enrichment. As a volunteer-driven nonprofit charity, the Dementia Society of America recognizes the immense value of caregivers and innovators in this field. We raise hope by spotlighting important research, discovering cures and causes, and promoting early detection and meaningful interventions. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia." 

President and Chairman Dementia Society of America, Kevin Jameson
