I just saw The Sun Rises in the East tonight with Jin K. as part of the New York International Fringe Festival. This one man show was disappointing, and not very good. It opened with an okay piece, where the performer pretended to be the teacher in a community school class on cultural relativism. But after that, it became totally disjointed and boring.
The show ended with the performer passing out cards and pens, and asking everyone to write down the answers to four questions, which he then read anonymously (though he didn't read mine). The questions were:
1) How much money do you need, in order to be content for one year? Not luxuriously decadent, but content. 2) What smell most makes you salivate? 3) What is the best compliment you have ever received, or can think of? 4) If you could sleep with one person, one last time, who would it be?
My answers were
1) $500,000.00 2) A bakery 3) "I love you." 4) I answered this at the time, but only because it was anonymous.
