At Dairy Arts Center, No Contract is a solo physical theater work from Kirsten Wilson that honors her mother and others touched by dementia. Through movement and candid storytelling, Wilson grapples with a promise her mother asked of her, not to let her live on after losing her mind. The result is an intimate inquiry into autonomy, love, caregiving, and choice in the face of cognitive decline. Told in two acts, the piece weaves memoir with nods to Hamlet and King Lear, karaoke, and moments of audience participation. A violin score developed in collaboration with Anthony Salvo threads through the performance. At its center is a stark agreement that confronts assisted dying in the context of dementia, set alongside the vivid legacy of Marie Wilson, a founder of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, an LGBTQ+ leader, author, and advocate for equity. Humor and tenderness keep the story buoyant while acknowledging its weight. Additional offerings connected to the production include a performance tailored for immunocompromised attendees, with reduced capacity that leaves open seats between audience members, KN95 masks required for performers and audience, enhanced air filtration, and extra distance from the front row. There is also a separate full-day workshop led by Wilson that uses Act I and Act II as catalysts for reflection and writing on caregiving, aging, and fears around memory loss, with guided dialogue and a shared lunch included. Separate ticketing applies for these options.
