Cirque du Aegis drew a crowd of more than 600 from Aegis Living communities throughout the Puget Sound area, including Kent, to the Lynnwood Convention Center on Thursday.

Cirque du Aegis represents a different way to entertain and engage those living with dementias like Alzheimer’s disease in a controlled environment. More than 500 in the audience live with some form of dementia, like Alzheimer’s.

The free event, sponsored by Aegis Living, a leader in the assisted living industry, featured musicians, jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, magicians and contortionists in the Cirque du Soleil style.
