Alef: The NEXT Conversation » Monologues

The Sum of the Parts = Home

Rafi — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 19:40:30 +0000

For all of us, home isn’t just the place we are now. Â It’s the place we’re comfortable being ourselves. With that in mind we’d likeÂ to share one of our favorite monologues, by our friend Farrah, about composite identities, and the place they call home.

Shabbat Shalom,

Alef

Monologues: Ilya

Ilya is another Ruskee member of the Monologues cast (if you haven’t already seen Boris’ monologue, click here). We didn’t even know Russian soap operas existed on American TV until we heard this guy mention it. You owe it to yourself to witness Ilya’s comic flair in his stream-of-consciousness ramble.

Monologues: Boris

From wrestling polar bears (or black bears, depending on who you ask) to managing the assumptions that come with having a classically Russian name, Boris’ story – from the Birthright Israel NEXT show Monologues – is about the ways we struggle with and try to understand our own identities.
