Using just his voice and an electronic drum kit, acclaimed spoken word artist Antosh Wojcik explores the effects of dementia on speech, memory and family in his debut work for stage, How to Keep Time. Subtitled A Drum Solo for Dementia, this 60 minute show is a mesmeric display of drumming and spoken word, in which poems become beats and beats become glitches in time.
The performance sees Wojcik tell the moving story of his Polish grandfather’s struggle against vascular dementia and the effect it had on the people around him.
