Learning and Forgetting is a family tale about remembering. Young Eva is excited to learn new words and ideas. Her beloved Grandpa forgets – his memories and words aren’t close at hand anymore. But that doesn’t keep Eva and Grandpa from playing in the present and creating new stories together. Eva and her brother lift Grandpa’s spirits on moving day as he transitions into a new home. Follow along as they find joy in the moment and learn understanding for a lifetime. This joyful theatrical experience explores intergenerational love with warmth, laughter and puppetry.

Written by award-winning playwright Amaranta Leyva, Learning and Forgetting is based on her own family experiences.

Aprender y olvidar es un cuento sobre recordar. El abuelo pierde la memoria mientras Eva va descubriendo el mundo. Su hermano mayor es el responsable de su bienestar. Dos niños y un abuelo que ha perdido la memoria son la receta perfecta para el desastre. Pero estos tres personajes están decididos a convertir este día en un día memorable.

Aprender y olvidar está basada en las experiencias de la premiada dramaturga Amaranta Leyva.
