TEATRO PARAGUAS News:

The World Beautiful is a heartwarming true story of friendship between a 93-year-old Los Alamos mountaineer and his caregiver, depicting their outdoor adventures through vignettes, photography, conversation and song.

David Brown was an electrical engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Anna Yarrow is a student at UNM-LA and a LANL Foundation scholar, pursuing a degree in Emergency Medical Services. She delights in sharing her unique way of seeing and experiencing the world from an autistic perspective.

The World Beautiful, written by Yarrow, is a multimedia performance celebrating her five years as a caregiver for “The Mountaineer” Brown, portrayed by actor Don Converse.

“When I started working as a caregiver in 2018, I asked for my client’s permission to photograph him and write down our conversations. We weathered the pandemic together, spending most of our time out in nature, hiking and cross-country skiing in the Jemez,” Yarrow said. “Despite our 50-year age gap (he’s 93 and I’m 43), we’ve developed a close friendship, and his love for the wilderness is contagious!”
