Eleonora is Jochem Stavenuiter’s mother. When he was fifteen years old, she suffered a stroke and, as a consequence, lost her memory.

Rooted in this true story, this honest and profoundly insightful performance is about forgetting who you are. It is about struggling to retain dignity and identity and about weekly visits to an Alzheimer clinic. It is also about hope, the hope that one day she will be cured.

Featuring a discussion between Jochem Stavenuiter and Dr. Sue Eckstein, Lecturer in Clinical and Biomedical Ethics at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, exploring the condition from personal, ethical and medical perspectives.
