It's the Year of Disasters.  Madre is a theatrical memoir that follows Julia de Maria Auxiliadora, an aging woman in Colombia who is fighting to maintain a sense of self as she succumbs to Alzheimer’s. As Julia’s lifetime of memories unravels, her adopted daughter Angela returns from Toronto to care for her, and to make one last desperate attempt to resolve their conflicted relationship while Julia still recognizes her. This is third (and final) instalment of our presentation of Madre, by Beatriz Pizano. This episode is also available in Spanish. New episodes are released every Saturday. Subscribe to this show wherever you get your podcasts.  The story so far: It's "the year of disasters", according to Julia. She is still denying her Alzheimer’s, despite being diagnosed by 2 different doctors. Angela is left alone to figure out the reality of the situation.
