Let’s Play House – Caregivers Association presents Imagiscape Theatre @ Royal Alberta Museum

Monday, May 21st, 2012

“I did not expect this… ” 4.5 stars – Edmonton Journal “Life at its most naked … the actors escape gravity.” – SEE Magazine Jonathon cares for his mother with Alzheimer’s, and, he believes, a bad attitude. Full of hope, he tries to inspire her to get off the couch and join him in ecological action. When a caregiver does everything right, but still everything is wrong, what can he do with repressed rage? Carlynn cares for her son with inexplicable crippling pain. When completely-debilitating pain hasn’t been cured after 12 years, what can a family do? Struggling to transform their desperate homes, to their families they propose: “Let’s do a project together, where the project is a play, and the play is about us.” Let’s Play House sincerely tests the idea that caregiving can be rewarding, and healing. The event includes the drama/dance show, and excerpts from the film documentary. “Heavy subject … Light and entertaining … Powerful” – VUE Weekly Let’s Play House was originally called “Heal Thyself” to express our frustration (“we’ve done all that should be necessary to bring about healing, now heal!”), and to acknowledge that the caregiver may need healing/changing. From a different angle, we realize that if we cannot heal our friends we must heal ourselves of our need to heal them. The title “Let’s Play House” better conveys the energy of the show, which invites people into our process – sometimes fun, sometimes dramatic. ================================ Alberta
