General Admission
I can see a square. Is it a house?
There’s a noise coming from inside. What’s happening over there?
Suddenly a flap opens. Could there be something inside?
What could be inside? Or rather, who could be inside?
Hermit is an imaginative performance about a teeny tiny house. The owner isn’t home. But we can hear him… A show about being alone and coming home.
