This revolutionary theatrical production explores the complexities of the human mind through the parallel lives of scientist-turned-painter Anne Adams and composer Maurice Ravel, both affected by frontotemporal dementia. Created and written by Jake Broder and directed by James Bonas, UnRavelled follows Adams, a gifted biologist whose life unravels as she abandons her career, consumed by the desire to paint and an obsession with Ravel's iconic Boléro. As Adams' cognitive decline accelerates, her art flourishes, revealing a surprising link between neurological disease and creativity.

With a cast of 10 actors and musicians—including Lucy Davenport, Andrew Borba, Leo Marks, Tracey A. Leigh, and David Aaron Baker—the production features original music by Mark Grey. Larchmont Buzz writes that " UnRavelled delivers hope, discovery and acceptance," while Metro Silicon Valley calls it a "revolutionary theatrical production."

See dementia in a new light. Performances are October 23 at 7:30 PM and October 24 at 1:00 PM at Miller Theatre of Columbia University, Broadway at 116th Street, New York City. Learn more about the East Coast Tour and UnRavelled .
