A show about what happens in the feverish mind of a desperate and skeptical girl, last night of a meditation course at a monastery in Thailand, where she must stay awake and practice meditation 24 hours a day The play takes us into the mind of an Israeli girl who is sitting in a monastery in Thailand, on a vipassana meditation course, following a broken heart We watch what unfolds in her mind: anger, doubts, pains and anxieties. Quite a mess Slowly the practice puts her mind in order, phenomena appear and disappear more quickly when she learns to observe them. As the process deepens, pain from the past emerges, memories of her father whom she lost as a child She relives love, abandonment, anxiety, loneliness and suffering She learns to forgive her parents, herself, those around her, takes a step towards compassion and liberation She discovers in herself the ability to sympathize and understand the other person wherever he is and to wish for his happiness Through it we experience the universal and personal spirituality involved in full presence

Quotes |
My language teacher once told me that in Hebrew there’s no such thing as present tense. The present moment simply doesn’t exist, he had said. It's the inconceivable split-second, between past and future, and this inconceivable second, inconceivable, he said, is called intermediate time. You were wrong, Daddy. |
