With music and poetry from the heart, the performance brings to life the adventures of a modern Monk facing various familiar ripples in the stream of life: being overweight, feeling lost, meeting a bully and not knowing what to do. Each “ripple” allows the Monk to discover a surprising insight that is both simple and complete in that moment.
Like the rest of us, the Monk is sometimes confused, but with an endless curiosity and freedom to see beauty in the darkest moment, manages to express a wit and wisdom that often amuse, surprise and move us.
Ultimately, the Monk’s religion, gender, culture and background don’t matter at all – he is the Everyman and Everywoman – bewildered and bedazzled by the same things as the rest of us.
