Seed Was Planted, A
A Seed Was Planted was inspired by the experience of a group of students who partook in the Trinity/La MaMa Study Abroad Program in the Summer of 1998. The plot focuses on a headstrong girl determined to see an ancient ritual high in the Himalayan Mountains. Getting there proves harder than she expected -- she falls ill and a storm approaches -- and just when it appears this heroine win't make it, she meets a man who claims to be a reincarnation of the famous Buddhist saint Milarepa. He promises to show her a shortcut to her destination, but ends up showing her something so beautiful and simple that she can barely grasp it.
The play combines Tibetan folklore, Himalayan music, and honest travel experience into a theme about letting go of your expectations to see what's really in front of you.
