Paper Weight at Vicariously Staged Productions

Vicariously Staged Productions proudly presents the world premiere of Paper Weight, an original work that blends movement, poetry, and theatrical experimentation to explore the fragile threads of memory. 

 

Prior to her death, Rosie’s family, including her husband (Oliver) and her daughter (August), gathers to say goodbye. In these final moments, Rosie – a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s – collects scraps of scattered memories in the landscape of her mind. Within the memories themselves, Rosie’s treasured relationships play out, as well as her journey coming face-to-face with the reality of her disease. Rosie and her family explore the grief, joy, fear, and distortion of memory. 

A memory-rich exploration of love, loss, and what remains when memory fades.
