Dylan is living with dementia. Heather must watch the love of her life drift away and battle with the erosion of his memories…but Heather is not going to let Dylan go easily! Instead, they fight to remember their past together, the laughter, the battles, and to rediscover a joy that keeps them connected for whatever the future holds.
SAND is presented by Kook Ensemble, a new contemporary circus theatre company. Formed in 2023 and based in North Devon it marks their second show, following hard on the heels of the critically acclaimed tour of Filibuster in 2024. Kook Ensemble is a company of world-class circus and theatre artists who strive to make compelling and playful work.
This powerful piece of contemporary circus theatre explores love, memory, and the passage of time through a unique fusion of physical theatre and acrobatics.
Running time 65 minutes
