For ten years, poet Brian Sonia-Wallace has been interviewing strangers to write them poems on a typewriter about their lives. In this one-hour, one-man show, he asks, "what does it mean to have a dream?" and combines clowning with sacred reading practices to find out. It's a dialogue with the audience through poetry about dreams and desires: the ones you've found, shared, abandoned, and rediscovered. Each show creates a new poem, the subject of that poem: you.
