Reflections of A Constant Monk
Reflections of A Constant Monk
Written by Lee Gershuny
Music Directed and Composed by Robin Mason
Presented by Corinne Harris, Robin Mason, Peter Galinsky and Lee Gershuny
With music and poetry from the heart, the performance brings to life the adventures of a modern day Monk facing various familiar disturbances in the stream of life: being overweight, feeling lost, meeting a bully and not knowing what to do. Each disturbance allows the Monk to discover a surprising insight that is both simple and complete in that moment.
Ultimately, the Monk’s religion, gender, culture and background don’t matter at all, in being Everyman and Everywoman – bewildered and bedazzled by the same things as the rest of us.
With an endless curiosity and freedom to see beauty in the darkest moment, the Monk manages to express a wit and wisdom that often amuse, surprise and move us.
