Love you Love you Love you

Overview

Love you Love you Love you uncorks a heady brew of mothering, dementia, and legacy. Creator-performer Sarah Sanford conjures real memories and mythic demonesses to witness a beloved mothers passage into uncharted cognitive territory. Sanford slips between characters and consciousnesses, willing an altered neurological state to take center stage. Part clown show, part tragedy, Love you Love you Love you exposes the stigma surrounding persons living with dementia, and the sorrow and rage of watching a loved one slowly disappear.
