A play about living with Dementia.

How does a person with Dementia experience the world? Enter the real-life stories of people living with Alzheimer's through a creative retelling of the sights, sounds and stories from a local Memory Unit. Exploring communication, ageing, and identity, 'The Fish Bowl' is a celebration of the rich character’s you find in aged care and the wisdom they impart.

Winner of the BankSA Award for Best Theatre and Physical Theatre and the Holden Street Theatre Award at the 2022 Adelaide Fringe.

Supported by Arts South Australia.
