Staged as an immersive performance installation, The Book of Revelations challenges our personal and ethical response to the sometimes disturbing experiences of people living in the fragmented sensory world of dementia and serious mental illness. Ada’s revelatory presence/absence emerges through live action, space, sound, objects, extended voice and image
