Vamos Theatre is one of the UK’s foremost full mask theatre companies, creating imaginative and accessible theatre that combines a good story and great characters with music, puppetry, humour, and invention. The tale of Finding Joy is told through mask, mime, music, and physical theatre – there are no words.  Over the last six years, supported by Arts Council England, Vamos has built a loyal following of intergenerational audiences and Finding Joy is aimed particularly at carers and communities who have a direct connection with dementia and memory loss, as well as health sector professionals.

The Play

Finding Joy cuts straight to the heart of raising awareness and understanding about dementia in an accessible, proactive and positive way.  This piece of live theatre hopes to encourage finding and celebrating the person beyond the illness, stimulating conversation and supporting all those that care for people with memory loss at its various stages.

Joy is creative, funny, loves to dance, and is losing her memory: her grandson Danny is rebellious, fearless, bright, and always getting into trouble. When out of the blue, Danny decides to become Joy’s carer, where will their unexpected and playful bond lead them?

Finding Joy is based on real life events and true stories, and is created in association with movement play specialists JABADAO. It is theatre that is both moving and comical, reminding us that elders enjoy varied and valuable lives, and despite memory loss remain important members of society, wherever they are living.
