Upcoming Events

Two performers on stage as part of the UnRavelled theater production Theater

Penn Live Arts: UnRavelled

UnRavelled is a synthesis of theatre, music, science and visual art. The show 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. With a cast of 10 actors and musicians, the play follows Adams, a 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. There will be post-show discussion panels Thursday–Saturday and post-show workshops Saturday and Sunday. Students receive a discount with Penn ID.
