A moving musical exploration of memory loss

Nederlands Kamerkoor bring to the Barbican their urgent new project Forgotten – a moving musical and theatrical exploration of living with dementia.

The Nederlands Kamerkoor is a community of artists brought together in choral singing at the highest level. Based in Utrecht, it pushes the boundaries of the genre with innovative, cross-disciplinary projects.

Forgotten is a deeply moving theatrical concert that takes the audience on a journey through the mind of a dementia patient – through fear, confusion, memory loss, and, ultimately, surrender to the unknown.

A unique fusion of music and theatre, this production explores the multi-facted experience of an individual sufferer– anxiety, hallucinations, forgetfulness, suspicion – each represented through an extraordinary blend of familiar and unfamiliar choral repertoire, electronics, and live performance.
