BÚI ĐẠM: The Heart Behind Birita: Alzheimer’s, King Lear & A Son’s Love Letter

Búi Đạm joins The Roundtable with Robert Bannon to talk about his moving documentary Birita, a deeply personal story about art, memory, and family. The film follows Đạm’s mother, acclaimed Faroese actress Birita Mohr, as she lives with Alzheimer’s disease, while he attempts to bring her back to the stage through a production of King Lear. It is an intimate and emotional look at what happens when performance, music, and storytelling become a way to hold on to identity, connection, and joy. Robert and Búi dive into the intersection of caregiving and creativity, the power of theatre in the face of memory loss, and what it means to honor a parent’s legacy while documenting such a vulnerable journey. Birita is a story of love, resilience, and the hope that even as memory changes, the spirit of an artist can still shine through. 🎙️ The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on BroadwayWorld, Broadway Podcast Network, Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you listen/watch.
