Michael Gerlinger: Meine Mutter, Herr Alzheimer und ich

In the organizer's words:

"Every year, around 440,000 people develop dementia, 300,000 of whom are Alzheimer's patients." These figures from the Alzheimer Forschung Initiative e.V. (February 4, 25, alzheimer-forschung.de) are startling and almost all of us have already come into contact with this insidious disease.

Actor Michael Gerlinger has made notes about his mother suffering from Alzheimer's and, in collaboration with director Michael Neuwirth, has turned them into a theater text that will be presented on Saturday, March 22 at 7:30 pm at the balou cultural center.

This evening is a kind of memory laboratory through the world of an illness that is becoming more and more important in our society and yet is still sidelined. A play about confusion, loneliness, a system that doesn't need people suffering from Alzheimer's, about the beauty of life and the past, because the old were once young too. Michael Gerlinger jumps into many roles. A theatrical dance through the fate of a patient and those who have to deal with it. An attempt to use depth, humor and music to draw attention to an illness that is not only terrible for those suffering from it.
