Event description

THE MOON AND THE BAKUNAWA 

( A Dementia Carer Story)

The Moon and the Bakunawa is an original two-act autobiographical play by Nitoy Chan.

The play narrates the writer’s 8-year experience as a carer for his mother who suffered from Vascular Dementia.

As he navigates his journey, he faces the challenges-physically, emotionally, and mentally- in caring for his mother and gains a valuable gift in the end.

The Bakunawa comes from a Filipino folk tale about a sea dragon that rises to the sky to eat the moons. The act of the monster serves as a metaphor for the debilitating effect of Dementia as it slowly “eats” the person’s memories.
