I don't belong here - Stories and Songs at the Edge of Forgetting

A PLAY WRITTEN BY AND FEATURING

Joëlle Rabu and Kelly Wyatt

DIRECTED BY

Kymme Patrick

MUSIC DIRECTION AND ARRANGEMENTS BY

Nico Rhodes


A poignant musical interpretation of a day in the life of residents at a dementia care facility.

 Through a blend of grief and humour, the audience is invited to witness the daily struggles and triumphs of the residents as they grapple with the gradual loss of Self.  Musically supported by the bold and aching melodies of the late Harry Nilsson, the songs provide a haunting backdrop for this performance exposé. Joëlle’s compelling vocal interpretations and her chameleon-like portrayals of a dozen featured characters such as the residents, care aides and visiting family members alike are buoyed by Kelly Wyatt’s colourful supporting characters and vocal harmonies, while music director, Nico Rhodes, also playing supporting roles, renders homage with insightful musical arrangements of the ageless melodies and reflective lyrics. “I Don’t Belong Here – Stories & Songs at the Edge of Forgetting” offers a compassionate, nuanced approach to dementia – one that embraces empathy, humour, and humanity for those living with it, those who love them, and those who care for them.

MAKING OF THE PLAY

The choice for the title was based on the most heard sentence in dementia residences “I don’t belong here”.
