A Manchester Camerata production
29 September 2019
BBC Contains Strong Language Festival, Hull 2019
Written by Louise Wallwein. Directed by Sue Roberts.
What would dementia look like? It would look like a broken-down cello, all the strings stretched and breaking.
Hidden is a new theatre piece written by award-winning poet, playwright and performer, Louise Wallwein (MBE), created through a programme of public engagement and creative enquiry into the lived experience of young onset dementia. Hidden addresses the challenges that both people living with young onset and their loved ones are faced with in a powerful and uncompromising piece.
After a successful tour in June 2019, ‘Hidden’ performed at BBC Contains Strong Language Festival in Hull in September 2019.
Hidden went on to win Best Performance at the Manchester Culture Awards 2019.
I produced Hidden on behalf of Manchester Camerata.
