The Neo-Futurists have announced the cast and creative team for Ensemble Member Kirsten Riiber’s  TANGLES & PLAQUES.

Directed by Artistic Associate Jen Ellison, the production features Riiber, Kaitlyn Andrews, Ida Cuttler, Justin Deming, Mike Hamilton, Nick Hart, and Dan Kerr-Hobert.

The production team includes Alex Schwaninger (professional consultant), John Kelly (lighting designer), John Wilson (set designer) and Kate Hardiman (production manager).

TANGLES & PLAQUES attempts to demystify the experience of dementia in the language of theatre—offering a vivid, poignant, participatory experience that is unique to each audience and different every performance. Creator Kirsten Riiber* and Director Jen Ellison+ conduct a symphony of impossible tasks and egregious forgery with the help of the audience and cast, along with guidance from Memory Care Director Alex Schwaninger, a professional counselor at the local Bethany Retirement Community, the ensemble interrogates the life and death of memories— how they persist, when they depart and the ways they distort over time.
