With music and poetry from the heart, the performance brings to life thought-provoking adventures of a modern day Monk facing life’s challenges — being overweight, meeting a bully, falling in love, etc. With a playful innocence and endless curiosity, the Monk manages to find beauty in the darkest moments and questions the purpose of life itself. Insightful and sometimes laughable, the Monk expresses a wit and wisdom to amuse, surprise and move us.

REFLECTIONS OF A CONSTANT MONK
Poetry, Parables and Live Music
Written by Lee Gershuny
Music Directed and Composed by Robin Mason
Presented by Corinne Harris, Robin Mason, Peter Galinsky and Lee Gershuny
Reflections of a Constant Monk, which premieres at Summerhall in Edinburgh as part of Luminate, Scotland’s creative ageing festival, is rich with a sense of pilgrimage and possibility – a work born of deep experience.
Often gentle and funny, frequently poignant and always intelligently observed, Lee Gershuny’s Reflections of a Constant Monk is an interweaving of poetry, parable and original music

MESSAGES FROM A MENTAL INSTITUTION TOUR
Upon the invitation of New York’s Theater for the New City’s annual Dream Up Festival, the Elements World Theatre will be presenting five performances of its new play, Messages From A Mental Institution in late August of this year.
First presented in March at Summerhall in Edinburgh, the play tells a simple story of what happens when strange messages from a Woman’s missing husband spark her heroic quest to find his true identity and rescue him from a mental institution. Presented in an absurd, surreal style, the play deals with complex issues around identity, spiritual awakening and the nature of “reality.”
