SYNOPSIS

Ada is a doctor in physics and since she was very young, she held a research project to generate an electronic support model to record memories that could correct negative behaviors in human beings, a memory machine. Paradoxically, upon reaching middle age and without completing her research, she becomes ill with Alzheimer’s.

The piece takes as a leitmotif the list of daily tasks that the mother must carry out to sustain herself in the present, lists that her three daughters make daily in an attempt to maintain order and contain the impulsive nature of her mother. The play turning point takes place on the day that one of the daughters alters that order and thereby detonates Ada’s most lucid moment in years.
