1. Daniel , Brooks

Other People

Fast Walker. Red Crocs. The Regurgitator. These are a few of the nicknames Daniel assigns to the other meditators during a ten-day silent retreat in Montebello, Quebec. Participants are not supposed to talk to anyone, not supposed to look anyone in the eye, and not supposed to gesture or communicate in any way. Recently diagnosed with a disease deemed terminal, and faced with this unusual situation, Daniel becomes acutely aware of the need for community and human interaction. In this funny, poignant, and insightful solo play, Brooks invites us to eavesdrop on the anxieties, joys, obsessions, and fantasies that lurk in the corners of our minds, while bearing witness to our shared need to be heard and understood.
