Lee "Theater"

Today was a quiet day as we knew it was going to be a busy exciting evening. We took a long walk up 5th Avenue and then around the Times Square area where it is much different on a Sunday morning than during the past few evenings. The “sights” and “smells” are more tolerable.

We then made our way down to 34th Street. Not only is that the sight of “The Miracle on 34th Street” but also the location for “Monarium, featuring the presentation of 52 moments of loneliness”, Lees One-Man Show. It was billed as: Theatre is a lonely art. Being in the audience is even lonelier. To sit facing the same direction in silence for a couple hours is not only isolating but impersonal. It's a missed opportunity... but it doesn't have to be."Monarium" is a collage of communal storytelling, listening room, multimedia presentation, therapy, and relational performance. Join a lone Lee Winters in this highly interactive and experimental evening as he explores what loneliness really is and how to fix it. Expect to laugh a lot, cry a bit, definitely NOT sit in the same direction, and maybe even make a friend.

The reviews are in. Everyone (it was sold out) had an incredibly engaging, very emotional, educational, invigorating, and thought-provoking evening that began at 6:30pm and didn’t end until after 11pm (the last hour being celebration at a local drinking establishment). When you walked out, you understood that although we are alone in life, we are also so interconnected.
The night ended with a midnight light show in Times Square!

Midnight Moment is the world's largest, longest-running video art program, synchronized nightly from 11:57 pm to 12am on over 90 electronic billboards in Times Square.Read more
