More than 100 artists with 13 plays presenting 69 events over 25 days ... it boggles the mind!

Untitled Theater Company #61 explores the nexus of science and art in NEUROfest, the first-ever theater festival dedicated to neurological conditions from January 5 through 29, 2006.

A collection of theater artists from around the country will present work inspired by various neurological conditions, including:

• Amnesia (Korsakov's Syndrome),
• Aphasia,
• Autism,
• Capgras Syndrome,
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD),
• Dementia,
• Meniere’s Disease,
• Synesthesia, and
• Tourette’s Syndrome

In conjunction with the performances, NEUROfest will also host a series of seminars/panel discussions with noted experts.

The festival line-up comprises a diverse selection of contemporary theatrical forms, from:

• Edgy, solo performance in noted Downtown artist Kirk Wood Bromley’s Syndrome; to
• Multimedia by real-life neurologist James Jordan in CJD; to
• Puppetry/object manipulation in The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Robot; to
• A family musical with Welcome to Tourettaville! (co-written by a 7 year-old with Tourette’s Syndrome); to
• A short monologue in The Taste of Blue, set in the realm of the senses; to
• A full-length opera/theater piece in Tabula Rasa; to
• An exploration of found texts in Doctors Jane and Alexander; to
• The Pinter-esque puzzlings of Strangers; to
• An examination of communication in Linguish, when language isn't an option; to
• A love story about two men, music, and vertigo in Vestibular; to
• A family drama about delusion and doppelgangers in Impostors.

Individual tickets will be available soon through TheaterMania.com or you can see everything with a NEUROpass. Either way, NEUROfest promises fascinating and compelling theater.

Just think about it.
