“On Living and Dying with Dignity” with 2024 Hermitage Greenfield Prize winner Deepa Purohit
“On Living and Dying with Dignity” with 2024 Hermitage Greenfield Prize winner Deepa Purohit, Wednesday, January 14, 3pm: How do women live, age and die with dignity in a culture where the medical system is built on a key tenet: to preserve and prolong life? This question is central to the investigation Hermitage Greenfield Prize winner Deepa Purohit is conducting for her Hermitage-commissioned play, Mxx: The Dignity Project. Purohit will be in conversation with Dr. Robin Devan, who leads Sarasota Memorial Healthcare System’s Palliative Care Services, and TJ Tremaine, Bioethics Program Coordinator for Sarasota Memorial Healthcare System. Moderated by Hermitage Artistic Director and CEO Andy Sandberg and presented in collaboration with Asolo Repertory Theatre, this conversation aims to explore the many facets of medical intervention during the course of a woman’s life, and how ethics and dignity come into play when making decisions about care. This cross-disciplinary panel will offer a thoughtful discussion ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of Purohit’s Hermitage-commissioned play this spring. Presented in partnership with Asolo Repertory Theatre. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Asolo Repertory Theatre Koski Center Weiler Rehearsal Hall, 1009 Tallevast Rd., Sarasota, FL 34243
