One Woman, One Puppet, Many Stories




Daybreak Alberta from CBC Radio Calgary show

Summary: Puppeteer, Michelle Warkintin, and her family had to face the reality of dymentia when a family member started to display symptoms of the disease and finally came to forget those to which she had been so close. As part of the Calgary Fringe Festival (August 3-11), Michelle will be performing the show, "Mii Other Woman," a tale for a character she created who also has succumbed to dymentia. The show challenges what we imagine is the internal life of someone who's forgotten their past, but also how we should feel about being forgotten.
