A tale of love, loss and memory on a Peterborough stage

This powerful piece of contemporary circus theatre explores love, memory, and the passage of time through a unique fusion of physical theatre and acrobatics.

Dylan is living with dementia. Heather must watch the love of her life drift away and battle with the erosion

of his memories…but Heather is not going to let Dylan go easily.

Instead, they fight to remember their past together, the laughter, the battles, and to rediscover a joy that keeps them connected for whatever the future holds.
