How does a person with Dementia experience the world? How can we better connect with people in the often challenging environment of aged care?
This award-winning experimental theatre piece explores communication, ageing, and identity through the real-life stories of people living with Dementia. The play celebrates the rich character’s you find in aged care, the wisdom they impart, and the ways in which communities can find creative new forms of communication.
The Fish Bowl won the BankSA Award for Best Theatre and Physical Theatre and the Holden Street Theatre Award.
