Dylan is living with dementia. Heather must watch the love of her life drift away and battle with the erosion of his memories…but Heather is not going to let Dylan go easily!
Instead, they fight to remember their past together, the laughter, the battles, and to rediscover a joy that keeps them connected for whatever the future holds.
Kook Ensemble brings together our team of world class theatre makers to create original and playful stories. We delight in blending the very best of circus arts and theatre to charm, surprise and keep you guessing until the end!
‘Sand’ is Kook Ensemble’s second show, hard on the heels of our critically acclaimed tour of ‘Filibuster’ in 2024.

Sound Design
The sound design for Sand grew with the show from the early days of rehearsal. It plays with reality warping from realism into absurdity and back again, as the story navigates its way through Dylan's experiences of dementia. It operates in close collaboration with the soundtrack, composed by Tayo Akinbode, to create a playful and emotive soundscape.
